Inward Light – This evocative portrait captures a figure half-turned, their gaze lowered in introspection as if retreating into a private realm. Warm golden tones emerge from the darkness, illuminating the contours of the face and shoulder like embers in a deep night. The depth of colors and organic patterns were created through a patina process, giving the surface a luminous, timeworn complexity. In this interplay of light, shadow, and metal’s transformation, the work becomes a meditation on the quiet radiance that endures within.
