About this artwork
Gilded Codex is a high-relief abstract work that explores the intersection of ancient mystery and modern materiality. Using a rich palette of deep burgundy and metallic gold, the piece centers on a powerful, architectural "X" that suggests a forgotten language or a sacred seal.
Materials & Texture
The painting is defined by its extreme tactile depth. By layering modeling paste, wax, and oils, I have created a sculptural surface that mimics a weathered… relic. The wax lends a soft, organic patina to the oils, while the metallic gold ridges catch the light, shifting the work’s energy as you move around it.
Concept
This piece serves as a visual manuscript—a "codex" of texture and light. It is an invitation to touch the history of the medium and find order within the bold, gestural marks of the composition.
Chantelle Stean is a contemporary oil painter whose work explores the quiet tension between atmosphere and light. Rooted in seascape logic but moving toward luminous abstraction, her paintings dissolve the boundary between horizon and glow. Working within accessible formats due to disability, she transforms medium‑scale canvases into vast emotional fields through layered glazes, mineral textures, and diffused radiance. Her practice centres on the idea of light as living matter — shifting, breathing, and expanding across the surface. Whether through atmospheric horizons or abstract luminous cores, Stean’s work invites the viewer into a state of stillness, where colour becomes air and glow becomes presence.
