Original artwork description:

The “Kaia” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde exemplifies the fusion of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship. This artwork features the natural quilted grain of white maple, seamlessly paired with vibrant dyed blue and bold dark blue paper, creating a visually compelling and harmonious composition. The flowing curves and sharp contrasts invite the viewer into an exploration of balance and form.

Marquetry, the age-old art of inlaying materials into intricate designs, is celebrated in “Kaia.” Each material is meticulously selected, hand-cut, and layered with precision to highlight the interplay of textures and colors. The smooth, rich hues of the dyed paper contrast beautifully with the natural, tactile qualities of the maple, creating a radiant and modern aesthetic that transcends time.

Each marquetry piece by Troy Hyde is a one-of-a-kind creation, accompanied by a signed and stamped certificate of authenticity, with an exclusive 0.5 serial number for added provenance. Displayed within a sleek white wood frame, “Kaia” is designed with a floating effect that emphasizes its contemporary elegance. The minimalist framing enhances the artwork’s dynamic qualities, making it a striking addition to any modern or minimalist interior. Packaged in a bespoke presentation box for added protection, “Kaia” is ideal for collectors and gifting alike.
