embrace of the invisible world
"EMBRACES OF THE ETHER"
It embodies the concept of unity and the constant exchange of energy between all elements of the universe. The bas-relief symbolizes not only the physical form but also the inner flow of connections that permeates all layers of existence. It is the embrace of the invisible world, accepting, filling, and sustaining living matter.
Conceptual narrative:
"ETHER'S EMBRACE" is a monumental, non-geometric sculpture in high relief, masterfully transcending the boundaries between physical landscape and vibrant abstract painting. Executed in the form of an elongated, biomorphic monolith—reminiscent of a sacred crystal, an ancient fossilized leaf, or a rough tectonic slice of rare minerals—the work visualizes the intangible flow of cosmic energy (ether) enveloping physical matter. The composition contrasts deep subterranean craters and flowing veins of turquoise and lapis lazuli with glittering golden fields, symbolizing a sublime moment when the elements of water, mineral, and celestial light merge. This impressive, avant-garde work of art brings an atmosphere of luxurious organic sophistication, meditative mysticism, and exceptional contemporary drama to premium contemporary spaces.
Visual and Sculptural Impact:
The artwork measures a substantial 7 cm (2.8 in) in overall thickness and features multi-layered hand-carved incisions and reliefs ranging from 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) in depth [Artsper]. The surface is an intricate, tactile tapestry covered in high-quality gold leaf (thetalé) and painted with intense water-based acrylic pigments in vibrant shades of turquoise, jade, and deep cobalt. The low-lying valleys, intricate crater cells, and fluid channels are filled with high-quality, glossy, hypoallergenic resin. This specialized technique creates a stunning "wet-surface" effect, imbuing the blue and green pigments with the illusion of liquid depth and transforming the gilded cracks into shimmering spots of light that dynamically respond to changing ambient light throughout the day.
Technique and Craftsmanship:
Meticulously handcrafted through a rigorous, highly disciplined, multi-week process of sculpting and painting. Constructed on a durable, custom-made plywood sheet, the sculpture features an internal, dotted, reinforced structure, guaranteeing absolute structural strength and preventing warping over time. The complex biomorphic relief is created using high-quality polymer compounds, followed by precise, continuous hand carving and hand finishing to achieve distinct rough textures, microcraters, and smooth ridges. The piece is then coated with high-strength cement and structural plaster mixtures, painted, gilded, and selectively coated with museum-grade resin and protective varnishes for maximum durability and UV resistance.
