Executed in a modernist idiom with classical allusions, this unsigned work is composed of 4 ceramic tiles carefully arranged within a custom rustic wood frame with gilded inner trim.

The stylized figure, painter’s tools, and architectural elements evoke themes of artistic identity and creative practice. The hand-glazed surface displays exquisite tonal variation and texture, enhanced by the aged ceramic finish and expressive linework.

A captivating and highly decorative work that bridges modernism with classicism, offering sculptural presence and painterly depth. See less
