I envisioned gray stone and Venetian beige gold horns on this sturdy, slightly weathered white wooden base. This new subject captivated my attention irresistibly. Evoking the vitality and pride of the animal, the motif also suggests the concept of a ‘fossil,’ paying homage to my past in restoration. I used oil paint on the wood to subtly diminish some flaking parts of the varnish, achieving a delicate yet evocative weathered effect.
The horns rise elegantly from the base towards the sky, showcasing their finesse and grandeur.
The mosaic was made using the direct technique on the part of an old French window shutter.
Materials: Venetian beige gold (24k gold leaf), gray Italian stone of Nanto, recycled material.
