About "Object D´art - Gaugin"

This evocative piece, titled Objet d'art - Gauguin Inspired, is a mixed media composition rendered in acrylic and collage on wood, merging tactile texture with dreamlike minimalism. A reclining nude figure, reminiscent of Paul Gauguin's Tahitian muses, lies serenely across a stylized bed, her form both sculptural and abstracted. A small cat, attentive and poised, shares her space--an emblem of domestic intimacy and enigmatic presence.

Delicate embossments and relief-like elements add dimensionality to the work, with layered planes suggesting depth and introspection. The muted palette of soft blues, warm reds, and neutral greys evokes a twilight calm, as if capturing a moment suspended in time. Above the figure, ethereal, glyph-like calligraphy drifts across the background, echoing primitive symbols and natural motifs, reinforcing the homage to Gauguin's fascination with mysticism and the exotic.
