Step into the Golden Labyrinth, where every path tells the story of the soul. Each relief is a heartbeat, each curve an invitation to rediscover your own light.
The bas-relief weaves matter and gold, chaos and harmony, ancient stories and hidden desires.
Walk through the folds of time, feel the matter pulse beneath your fingers, and let yourself be guided by what is felt, not seen.
Golden Labyrinth is a bas-relief that stands as a powerful and universal visual expression. The dense raised maze in gold leaf on a white background creates a dialogue between material and concept, transforming the work into a profound reflection on existence, choice, and destiny.
The three-dimensional texture invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the labyrinth, exploring it not only with sight but almost with touch and thought. The golden pathways emerging from the white background evoke medieval miniatures and sacred Byzantine icons, reinterpreted with a contemporary aesthetic blending minimalism and opulence. Light shifts depending on the angle, giving the maze a sense of movement and impermanence.
Traditionally associated with the divine and transcendence, the gold becomes an inner guide, while the white represents emptiness, possibility, and choices yet to be made. The mere two exits suggest life’s duality: freedom and confinement, beginning and end, choice and destiny.
This work of art is not a simple puzzle but a metaphor for the soul navigating obstacles, detours, and moments of illumination. The artwork unites classicism and modernity, luxury and minimalism, order and chaos, leaving the viewer to discover their own way out, inviting contemplation and inner exploration.
My bas-reliefs are more than works of art. My art is a universal journey, a dialogue between the observer and what comes into being.
