The Adequate Witness

Acrylic on board. Antiqued copper on wood. Handmade frame.

This intriguing artwork features a candle intricately carved out from wood, encased in a handmade frame that exudes a ritualistic and enigmatic presence. Set against a dark backdrop, the candle glows with warm yellow hue. The orange base complemented by subtle touches of green and delicate purple tones, creates  a unique balance and tension within the piece.

The interior of the candle showcases a textured, crackled surface, while the exterior remains smooth, inviting viewers to explore its contrasts. The overall atmosphere is somber, mysterious and contemplative.
