The Masked Wing

The Masked Wing is a delicate multi-layered artwork created through raised wood marquetry and carving. It reveals a mask-like face surrounded by flowing forms, wings, feathers, and ornamental lines, creating a composition filled with movement, depth, and visual elegance.

Every wooden component has been carefully cut and finished by hand with high precision. Ultra-fine German fret-saw blades, sizes 001 and 004, were used to achieve the smallest details and the most delicate lines.

The artwork is built in three separate layers, with wooden elements mounted volumetrically on top of one another. With an approximate depth of 2 cm, the combination of marquetry and carved elements gives the piece a vivid, dynamic, and sculptural presence.

A collection of valuable natural woods—including walnut, maple, pear, apple, oleaster, barberry, jujube, bitter orange, purpleheart, and other species—has been used. All visible colors come from the natural tones of the woods themselves, with no artificial coloring used.

Selected areas incorporate emerald stone, adding a rare and luxurious element that strengthens the collectible identity of the artwork.

The surface is finished with three layers of Italian Bromax plant-based oil, preserving the warmth, texture, and authenticity of the wood while helping protect it from humidity and environmental influences.
