COLLECTION 01

Art of metal and light

Four works on brushed aluminium, each limited to 49 copies.

VELENA

The material is part of the work.

VELENA creates limited-edition artworks on brushed aluminium. The metal is more than a support for the motif: it takes in the light of the room and changes the image with every viewing angle.

COLLECTION 01

COLLECTION 01 traces the path of light in four works – from its emergence to its disappearance. On silver brushed aluminium, the works change with perspective, reflection and surroundings.

    Surface

    In the bright areas, the fine brushed texture of the aluminium stays visible and becomes part of the image.

    Light

    Depending on the time of day and the viewing angle, the metal takes in the light of the room differently.
