Pure Patina - Dark I

This original painting is part of the PURE PATINA – Dark series.

Executed on a circular wooden panel, the work is built through numerous layers of egg tempera, pigments and ash.
The surface is not composed in a single gesture, but formed over time — through application, erosion and repetition.

Dark, earthy tones dominate the palette, softened by subtle shifts of light and depth.
The round format reinforces the object-like character of the work: contained, self-referential, and quiet in its presence.

Patina functions here as material memory rather than image.
Every layer remains visible as a trace of process, time and transformation. Nothing is ornamental; everything is essential.

PURE PATINA – Dark works are conceived as autonomous objects — tactile, grounded and contemplative.
They reveal themselves slowly, through proximity rather than distance.

This artwork is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
