This studio-original work began as a figurative painting, which the artist then transformed through a series of "interventions" to achieve the aesthetic of a recovered archaeological treasure.
​The Artistic Process: The surface is a masterclass in texture, featuring high-relief cracking and a weathered "topography" that mimics centuries-old fresco or eroded stone.
​Visual Details: The subject's features emerge from a background of oxidized teals, burnt siennas, and rich ochres. The artist has meticulously applied gold and copper leaf highlights throughout the "fissures" of the painting, allowing the piece to shift and shimmer as the ambient light in the room changes.
​The "Intervention" Series: Part of a cohesive body of work, this piece represents the artist's fascination with "Aged Relics"—objects that carry the weight of the past into the contemporary space.
