Giuseppe Caiafa, Optical Algiz: Modern Art Series, 2024, Gold & Silver Leaf & Oil on Panel

About This Piece

Technique: Engraved wood panel, gilded with gold and silver leaf, patinated with oil colors. Animated video included.

"Algiz" draws inspiration from ancient symbolism, particularly the Proto-Germanic rune of the same name, representing the divine protection and connection to the universe. The artwork aims to evoke the mystery and spirituality associated with ancient symbols, bridging the gap between past and present.

I hope viewers of "Algiz" will feel a sense of reverence and awe as they engage with the artwork. Through its intricate engraving, shimmering gold and silver leaf, and rich oil painting, the piece invites viewers to contemplate the timeless significance of ancient symbols and their relevance in the modern world.

The choice of medium, subject matter, and style for "Algiz" was deliberate in conveying its thematic depth and historical context. The use of engraved wood panels, embellished with gold and silver leaf, adds a sense of antiquity and mystique to the artwork, while the oil painting technique infuses warmth and depth. The subject matter of ancient symbolism and spirituality aligns with the artist's exploration of timeless themes, while the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect a commitment to artistic excellence and storytelling.
