Core Layers is an original work by Thomas Girbl, where geological, emotional, and creative depths converge. Using a mixed technique of fired surface, dense gouache, and printed forms, a multi-layered composition with a powerful material presence emerges. The matte intensity of the colors contrasts with the raw, fire-sculpted ground. Stencils and direct printing processes create structures reminiscent of tectonic plates. Red lines appear as energetic traces, while green signifies upheaval and creation. Core Layers is not a static image, but a process of layering, condensation, and transformation—a powerful, unique piece with physical depth.
