This portrait of Albert Einstein is a technical triumph of ceramic experimentation. Captured on a solid tile, the iconic features of the physicist are rendered through the traditional use of engobes and ceramic enamels. These materials, applied with a contemporary vision, create a surface that is both tactile and reflective, mirroring the multi-layered nature of Einstein's theories. The "distressed" finish gives the face a timeless quality, as if the image were etched into the fabric of time itself.
The Alchemical Process: This piece is the result of a refined fusion between photographic memory and fire. The image is transformed through a textural layering of ceramic engobes and high-quality enamels. Fixed by a high-temperature firing at 980°C, the materials reach a state of molecular fusion with the clay, ensuring the colors remain eternal and unalterable. Every crack and chromatic variation is a unique result of the kiln's heat.
