A Presence That Commands the Space."
There are artworks you simply observe, and then there are those that look back at you. Heavy Cross exists in the profound intersection where raw material meets spiritual thought, transforming from a painting into a powerful, three-dimensional wall sculpture.
The Alchemy of Fire and Tradition: At the heart of this monumental piece is a ceramic diptych, hand-decorated by the artist and kiln-fired at 980°C (1800°F). This high-temperature process ensures an eternal, stone-like texture that serves as the base for the imagery.
The central figures—hands bound in a symbolic gesture of resilience—are achieved through a unique alchemical fusion of pure earth pigments and metallic oxides. Following Renaissance traditions, the pigments are bound with egg albumin and fixed by the natural power of direct sunlight. This "Slow Art" process creates organic micro-cracks and a depth of color that shifts and reacts to the light of the room.
Structural Power: The central core is framed by massive wooden beams (6 cm depth), providing a brutalist weight that balances the intricate decoration of the fired clay. This is not a decorative object; it is a totem of resilience, designed for collectors who seek intentional, statement-making art.
