Framework

This composition strikes with its chromatic and structural dualism. In the foreground, the nervous silhouette of a bare tree imposes itself in a deep, almost graphic black, whose complex branches evoke a network of veins or aerial roots. The background, rendered in geometric flat tones, contrasts with the organic nature of the wood. This checkerboard of golden and coppery shades, reminiscent of the technique of oxidized gold leaf, creates a textured depth. The contrast between the rigidity of the squares and the free curve of the branches suggests a meeting between the rigor of the mind and the raw power of nature.
