Original artwork description:

Crafted with the warm, reddish hues of Bubinga, the deep, luxurious textures of Rio Rosewood, and accented by the bold sheen of Brass, “Zephyr & Lirael” embodies the harmony of connection and the beauty of duality. This marquetry piece explores the intertwining journeys of two distinct yet complementary forms, unified through precise, flowing shapes that evoke movement and balance.

The natural grains of the woods are hand-cut and inlaid, creating a rich tapestry of contrasts that draw the viewer into its intricate narrative. The copper inlay adds a modern, metallic accent, reflecting light and infusing the piece with a dynamic energy.

Marquetry, a centuries-old craft, is celebrated here through a contemporary lens. Each material is thoughtfully selected and finished with a blend of shellac and light wax polishing, resulting in a radiant surface. The striking composition invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between strength and grace.

Presented in a sleek, natural limewood floating frame, “Zephyr & Lirael” captures the timeless elegance of traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern design sensibilities. Each artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped by the artist, and packaged in a bespoke presentation box for safekeeping or gifting.
