About this artwork
The shellac base provides a lustrous, aged finish, while the Ink highlights the dramatic contours of the face. Gold leaf, applied to certain details, lends an almost mystical glow, contrasting with the blue-green patina surrounding the figure.
The overall effect suggests a fusion between the organic and the dreamlike, as if the character were petrified in a moment of eternal joy or torment, floating in an indeterminate space between the earthly… and the divine. The rich texture and choice of materials evoke a sense of sacred art weathered by time, like a reliquary forgotten in the abyss.
