Roots.

A deep olive green envelops the entire composition. The sculpted wood articulates into a geometric interplay of panels and frames. A massive brass ring stands out on the worn surface, capturing an intense glow.

The oil painting faithfully reproduces the warmth and roughness of the antique material. The brush models the furrows of time and transforms the worn paint into a precious fabric. A sharp shadow cuts the canvas diagonally, bestowing an absolute three-dimensional depth.

The artwork celebrates the silent resistance of everyday objects. Technical mastery fixes a moment of perfect light onto the canvas. It is an image dense with history, solid and reassuring.
