This powerful wall-mounted sculpture takes the form of a monumental mask, evoking both ancient ritual objects and contemporary sculptural expression. Crafted in alloy, enriched with gold leaf and finished with a black patina, the surface reveals a rich, textured skin where time, matter and light interact.
The face appears weathered, almost archaeological, as if emerging from memory or history. The cracked and irregular patina enhances the sculptural depth, creating subtle contrasts between shadowed areas and luminous golden highlights. This interplay gives the mask a strong presence, oscillating between strength and introspection, silence and expression.
Neither purely figurative nor fully abstract, the sculpture invites multiple interpretations. It can be read as a symbol of identity, protection or transformation, echoing ancestral masks while firmly rooted in a contemporary aesthetic. The work engages the viewer through its gaze and its material intensity, establishing an immediate and emotional connection with the surrounding space.
Designed as a wall sculpture, it integrates naturally into refined interiors, architectural settings or curated environments, where it functions both as an artwork and as a striking focal point. Its sculptural relief and noble materials make it particularly suitable for collectors and interior architects seeking a distinctive and expressive contemporary piece.
