About this artwork
Born from the fragmentation of an original surface, this piece reveals a material under tension, traversed by fine fissures that trace a fractal map. Each contour seems to have emerged from an ancient movement, a slow vibration that shaped the form like an object of revolution, polished by time as much as by the artist's hand. The violet and mauve hues, sometimes calcined on the surface, create an almost cosmic contrast, reminiscent of the deep glow…
of minerals heated deep within the earth.
The green variant, dyed throughout, draws its strength from an intimate pigmentation, incorporated from the very genesis of the material. This internal saturation lends a unique depth, as if the color were breathing from within. The whole evokes the spirit of geodes, those secret treasures that nature patiently shapes before sealing them. When observing the piece, one has the impression of glimpsing a fragment of another world, a mineral space suspended between geology and imagination.
