This mixed-media moon relief uses modeling clay and acrylic on wood to create a shallow bas-relief surface where a poured, saturated blue seascape appears to spill from the lunar plain; the work reads as a sculptural wall piece and as a painted object. The piece is executed in modeling clay atop a circular fir wood panel and finished with layered acrylic pigments to achieve a deep, varied ultramarine—keywords: modeling clay, acrylic on wood, moon relief, blue seascape, wall sculpture. Measured at 30 cm diameter and 2 cm depth, the work combines low-relief modeling with painterly application. The artist’s method places modeling clay directly onto the fir wood support, carving cratered textures and then applying multiple glazes of acrylic to create the luminous blue field. The visible surface retains the tactile evidence of modeling clay—tool marks, pressed edges and subtle variations in thickness—while the acrylic on wood layer provides saturated color and slight sheen. Repetition of material terms follows the work’s visible logic: modeling clay establishes the lunar relief; acrylic on wood secures the chromatic field; the moon relief motif frames a small blue seascape within the circular format. Conceptually, the piece belongs to a sustained inquiry into celestial and marine metaphors. The work situates a “sea” within a lunar geography, invoking themes of return, longing and transposition; the blue seascape becomes both horizon and magnet. Informed by the artist’s practice—where making and unmaking, the tactile and metaphorical, are central—this wall sculpture navigates between object and image, surface and depth. The work is intended for vertical presentation as a wall sculpture and is best installed at eye level to emphasize the contrast between cratered texture and poured color. This original mixed-media wall sculpture combines modeling clay and acrylic on fir wood and is offered as a single, signed work by the artist.
