About the Item

"At Sea Between Fossils and Satellites II2" is a textured mixed-media painting that explores the connection between the ancient and the celestial. Created with acrylic, latex, copper and bronze pigments, sand, glass, and collaged found objects, the artwork combines impasto texturing, staining, washes, and metallic dispersion. Its highly tactile surface evokes an archaeological bas-relief, merging natural and human-made elements. The title captures the duality of the work, situating the viewer between primordial, fossil-like textures and futuristic, satellite-inspired metallic sheens. Earthy tones suggest sedimentary layers and tidal landscapes, while shimmering pigments echo the light of stars or distant orbits. Materials like sand and glass symbolize nature’s rawness and human technological intervention, emphasizing transformation and interconnectedness. Guided by gravity, chance, and intervention, the painting invites interpretations of oceanic, geological, and cosmic phenomena. It celebrates the harmony of natural cycles and human ingenuity, offering a poetic meditation on time and space. The painting on canvas comes ready-to-hang with clean painted edges.
