This artwork is part of THE COLLECTED series. It explores restraint, balance and quiet expansion.A delicate branch extends across a softly weathered surface, carrying small red blossoms that appear almost suspended in time. The background is built in multiple layers of egg tempera, pigments and ash, creating a cool, mineral patina with subtle variations of grey and muted earth tones.Fine cracks, traces of process and gentle irregularities remain visible, allowing the surface to hold as much presence as the motif itself. The composition feels open and contemplative.Negative space plays an essential role, offering pauses for the eye and emphasizing stillness, material awareness and duration. Each work in THE COLLECTED series reflects a slower way of seeing — rooted in observation, tactility and quiet attention.
