About this artwork
One of the busts of the Archetypes project. Here we are working on the processing of the image of Russian icon painting. The object is an image of one of the Magi.
The sculpture is completely inflated from metal, followed by welding and chemical treatment. The color is complex gray.
Because it is a sculpture, it can be positioned in different ways. By turning the sculpture one way or another, you can change the mood of both the image and your space.
