The Artwork

Oxidations.

An industrial sheet metal fills the canvas with a vibrant yellow. The flat surface aligns with an undulating profile in a sharp composition. The paint crumbles to reveal broad stains of deep rust.

The oil painting faithfully reproduces the oxidation of the metal. The brush models the roughness of the iron and the fragility of the peeling color. The observer is captivated by the tactile strength of these details. The chemical transformation of matter becomes pure visual poetry.

The painting possesses an industrial and majestic solidity. The artist grants eternity to the slow decay of iron. It is a powerful image, capable of transmitting a raw and absolute allure.

The artist's voice

"Metal has its own incredibly slow breath. Rust is simply the blooming of iron exposed to time."
