A surface you want to touch. Thick layers of paint, worked into relief, cover the canvas in shades of ochre, sand and earth, flecked with tiny grains and dark dots that recall granular stone.

Running diagonally across the composition, from the lower left corner to the upper right, is a rough, luminous band of gold, like a seam of ore uncovered in rock. Turquoise strokes follow the same direction and, along the top edge, a turquoise border flecked with gold closes the painting like water over sand. Patches of copper and rust light up the whole.

The sides are painted in a copper tone, so the canvas can be hung without a frame. In raking light, every ridge casts its own shadow and the work changes throughout the day. A mineral piece with a strong presence.

About the artist

Painting came into my life several years ago. I taught myself, with a little guidance from a painter friend, and gradually discovered the joy of creating through experimenting.

I create freely. Everyone is free to find their own story in what I paint.
