This striking Opus Sectile panel is constructed through the eye of a painter and sculptor - each piece individually shaped, cut and placed to build movement, shadow and emotion within the composition. Sweeping petals, layered tones and bold accents of red and charcoal create a dynamic floral form that feels almost brush-painted in stone.

Composed not from tesserae , but from sculpted fragments of stone.

Unlike traditional mosaic , Opus Sectile relies on larger, precisely cut elements fitted together to form imagery. Here, natural stone becomes both line and colour, with subtle variation enhancing depth and contrast. The expressive black ground intensifies the sculptural quality of the lighter petals, giving the piece dramatic presence.

Rooted in an ancient technique perfected in Rome and later embraced by the Cosmati masters, this panel reinterprets historical craftsmanship through a contemporary artistic lens.
