Description
Black Relief – scales, fans and one sharp fold
A monochrome graphite-anthracite relief that lives on form and light alone: from a field of overlapping scales, descending like a downturned triangle from the top edge to the middle of the canvas, large ribbed fans open on three sides.
Technique & Texture
The largest fan radiates from the right middle toward the upper right corner, a second from a node left of centre toward the lower left, a third from the lower centre downward. This is a hand-painted work of art – the relief is deep and every ridge carries a silvered rim of light.
The Motif
Right of centre, in the lower half, the layers break sharply into a zigzag fold zone – the only sharp cut among the soft arcs. The painting changes with the light: in the morning it shows the scales, in the evening the shadows between the ribs.
Styling & Placement
A sculptural decorative painting for offices, living rooms and masculine work corners; the monochrome palette suits any furnishing, and the relief replaces colour with depth.

Black Relief sizes and delivery
The graphite-anthracite relief of scales and ribbed fans is painted in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Over a 200 cm sofa the painting should measure 130 x 130 or 140 x 140 cm, over a 160–180 cm bed 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, over a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm, and for a narrow hallway choose 50 x 50 or 60 x 60 cm – that way Black Relief covers about two thirds of the furniture beneath it. In the photograph it hangs in an optional thin gold frame on a dark wood-panelled office wall, above a desk with light chairs.
Select YES under Stretcher and the deep graphite relief arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. No frame is included with Black Relief, whose Frame menu defaults to Without frame. Delivery time for Black Relief is 15–45 days. The silvered ridges and the scales are hand-painted on canvas, so Black Relief is not a print.
