Warm red and ochre tones spread across the surface like an archaic landscape viewed from above. Fire-altered pigments and flowing color fields evoke heat, layers of earth, and geological processes slowly etched into the material.

Fine, punctual structures appear like preserved traces of embers – fragments of a process where heat, time, and intuition intertwine. The surface appears both raw and atmospheric, as if an echo of origin and depth is branded into the color.

As Burning Canvas, the work unfolds a special spatial presence in various formats.

Shadows of the Primordial Depth is based on the original work "Shadows of the Primordial Depth", mixed media with fire and pigment on canvas, from the cycle Pyrographical Landscapes.
