Copper Circle II

About this work:

‘Copper Circle II’ is the abstract representation of a rusted copper rod cut transversally. It has been painted on canvas and is folded vertically.  It belongs to my project ‘Copper Skin’, a project that investigates the way in which the copper metal, during its oxidation process, produces a unique green on its surface and this results in the form of the epidermis of the metal. This has for the artist a very poetic connotation, a kind of Phoenix revival: instead of evoking deterioration and decay, rust becomes beauty for the eye. This metaphor responds to a very positive personal moment in which the artist finds herself.
