“Mona Lisa in the moonlight”

I believe that art lies in metal: an image that speaks the language of forms and textures.

Here is my unique piece of contemporary art, created using metalworking techniques. It is not merely a decorative composition, but a work imbued with deep symbolism that emerges from the interplay of geometry and human features. The piece is three-dimensional, which makes it even more impressive!

The central focus of the work is the face emerging through the metal surface. It is both hidden and revealed, as if striving to convey emotion through the coldness and hardness of the material. The eyes peering through the cut-out planes create a sense of an inner dialogue—between the silence of the metal and the living energy of the human being.

In my vision, the lines and patterns—which resemble ancient symbols or a code—add an air of mystery. The work looks like a combination of a mask, a ritual artifact, and contemporary abstraction.

This piece is a striking example of how metal can be transformed into an emotional and philosophical image. As an artist, I demonstrate that even the strongest material conceals a profound sensitivity and the ability to convey a person’s inner experiences.

This painting was created from various pieces of metal; I took a compass and began sketching. Since I didn’t intend to create a square shape, I ended up with a circle, and the idea for the painting developed from there.
