The work is created in lightweight eco-concrete using a unique technique developed by the artist and finished in a warm gold tone that evokes the presence of an ancient object rediscovered over time. A system of raised linear markings unfolds across the circular form, creating a visual language reminiscent of fragments of an ancient script, ceremonial symbols, or traces of memory preserved within the material. The rhythms, textures, and repeated forms suggest a forgotten narrative whose echoes still remain. The work explores the way time leaves its imprint on matter, and how memories, cultures, and human experiences continue to resonate long after they have passed. Suspended between the familiar and the undeciphered, the sculpture invites viewers to construct their own interpretation. With its elegant architectural presence and rich texture, the work integrates naturally into contemporary, minimalist, and luxury interiors. It is well suited for residential spaces, hospitality environments, offices, and private collections, serving as a distinctive focal point that brings depth, materiality, and narrative into the space. The artwork is mounted on a white wooden frame and includes a concealed hanging system on the reverse, allowing for clean and professional wall installation.

I create sculptural wall reliefs from eco-friendly concrete, developing unique personal techniques that allow me to craft lightweight pieces with a powerful material and sculptural presence. The pieces are built through layers, grooves, cracks, and delicate interventions of color and gold. I am drawn to surfaces that bear the marks of time, weathering, and movement, and to the beauty that emerges from imperfection, exposure, and the traces left within the material. My creative process is rooted in an ongoing exploration of depth, rhythm, and light within a material traditionally perceived as heavy and rigid. The minimalist color palette—mineral whites, grays, sand tones, and gold—allows light and shadow to become an integral part of the artwork, shifting dynamically throughout the day. I view these works as spaces for slow, quiet contemplation, bridging the connection between material, time, and presence.
