The Artwork

Guardian.

An imposing dark door dominates the vision with its geometric panels. A massive metal knocker reigns at the center, cold and solemn. A triangle of sunlight illuminates the right corner, revealing the deep veins and the severe flaking of the dark paint.

Composed of four joined canvases, the painting possesses a physical, monumental impact. The hyperrealistic art conveys the weight of centuries of aristocratic history. The atmosphere preserves intact the original elegance of this noble entrance.

Oil on canvas confers eternity upon a worn surface. The fissures in the wood faithfully document the rains and seasons passed. The work emanates a silent, proud authority.

The artist's voice

"Every groove in the wood is an archive of storms. Great surfaces preserve the pride of their own decline intact."
