The Artwork

Forms.

Discs of polished marble overlap in a rigorous composition. The natural veins of the stone draw abstract landscapes upon every single form. The smooth surface mirrors onto the supporting plane, doubling the volumes.

These industrial scraps become pure sculptures. Pictorial mastery transforms the oil color into cold, compact stone. Before this extreme realism, one feels a profound sense of geometric harmony. The artist elevates discarded matter to pure aesthetic perfection.

The light glides gently over the polished edges. The work radiates a solemn elegance. It is a triumph of symmetry and essential beauty.

The artist's voice

“Beauty often resides in what is discarded. Geometric perfection transforms a fragment into a complete universe.”
