Blue Hour

Blue Hour. Gold doesn't hide — it just waits for the right light.

Built up from acrylic, champagne chalk and structure paste, giving the surface its restless, almost atmospheric depth — dark blue that loses nearly all contour toward the top and bottom, until a lighter, turquoise band pushes through the center like light breaking through cloud cover. Scattered accents in metallic gold sit unevenly across the surface, as if discovered by chance — half-lost in the darkness at the upper left, more visible within the lighter band at the center.

An original abstract painting from the Echoes phase, 70 x 90 cm, acrylic, champagne chalk, structure paste and metallic gold on canvas, in landscape format: a painting that, in daylight, reveals what otherwise can only be guessed at in the dark of the room.
