This work is born from the fusion of my passion for classical art and my desire to transform ordinary materials—often considered waste—into something precious. The main inspiration comes from Gustav Klimt and his renowned "Golden Period", particularly the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, which has always fascinated me for its complexity and luminosity. Klimt had a unique ability to intertwine gold with figurative art, creating a visual language that celebrated femininity and beauty through rich, symbolic details.
My approach was to take gilt and metallic objects I had around the house—recycled materials and everyday items no longer in use, often forgotten or discarded—and integrate them into an artistic context. The result is a piece that reinterprets the opulence and refinement of Klimt's original, retaining the allure of gold while also introducing a modern dialogue about sustainability and the value of the unexpected.
In this composition, every detail—from geometric lines to abstract decorative elements—echoes Klimt's visual universe but with my personal reinterpretation. The materials reflect light differently compared to traditional canvas, giving the central figure an aura of sanctity and renewal. The idea was to preserve the essence of Klimt's masterpiece while exploring new ways to express beauty, transformation, and rebirth through contemporary art.
