Encaustic on Wood
Aristocracy unfolds as a vibrant interlace of warm, intense colors: deep reds, regal purples, golden veins, and hints of violet merge into a complex, layered tapestry. The surface, dotted with luminous contrasts and velvety shadows, recalls the opulence of sumptuous fabrics and frescoes worn by time.
At the heart of the piece lies a silent pulse, like a heart guarding the secrets of bygone eras. Golden branching lines, reminiscent of fine filigree, evoke both the splendor and fragility of the elite, suspended between beauty and decay. Each chromatic fragment overlaps another, creating a sensation of visual richness, almost like a mosaic of aristocratic memories settled over time.
This dense, enveloping composition invites the viewer to lose themselves in its details, discovering new shades and hidden connections with every glance. Aristocracy thus becomes an abstract portrait of power and its inevitable transformation—an echo of refinement that endures even in the erosion of time.
