Conceptual narrative:

"Broken Eternity" is a monumental high-relief wall sculpture exploring the dramatic tension between permanence and fragmentation. The artwork serves as a visual metaphor for time itself—majestic, unchanging, yet shattered by the forces of change. Deep, bottomless black waves symbolize the passage of time and space, while a fractured, gilded tectonic formation running through the center symbolizes a split second of eternal beauty frozen in matter. This impressive artwork is intended to imbue contemporary luxury spaces with a sense of quiet, brutalist luxury.

Visual and Sculptural Impact:

This artwork is distinguished by its extraordinary, museum-quality depth of 13 cm (5.1 in). Unlike standard flat wall reliefs, it is a fully three-dimensional low-relief sculpture. Deep, matte black wavy lines create an intense, velvety texture that absorbs light, casting heavy, architectural shadows. In stark, dramatic contrast, the cracked core is hand-painted with high-quality gold foil, creating a lustrous, metallic, reflective surface. As natural or artificial light changes throughout the day, the golden cracks are illuminated differently, giving the sculpture a vibrant, ever-changing appearance. Resin is applied over the gilding to create a wet-look effect.

Technique and Craftsmanship:

Meticulously handcrafted through a complex, multi-week process of layered paint application. The sculpture is built on a durable, reinforced 100x100 cm wooden board, designed to withstand the weight and prevent warping. The three-dimensional geological forms are created using a proprietary blend of high-strength structural gypsum, high-quality polymer compounds, and industrial cementitious mixtures. The gold elements are carefully hand-applied and coated with a non-toxic, odorless, museum-grade eco-resin, providing UV protection and durability.
