Abstract Sacred Portrait

This unique circular marquetry piece presents a solemn, expressive face carved into contrasting layers of wood. The composition evokes a sacred or Byzantine aesthetic, rendered in a contemporary, almost ghostly abstraction. The rich textures and minimal tones invite contemplation and lend a sense of mystery and reverence to any space. Originally crafted by hand using the marquetry technique, this digital version captures the raw, soulful essence of the original wooden portrait.

Perfect for fans of modern iconography, abstract religious art, or meditative interiors.

Books Worth Reading - KAWS X WARHOL

As celebrated artists that draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol are known for creating art that is approachable beyond the confines of the traditional art world. While at first glance, both artists’ works often appear celebratory and joyful, they share a number of dark common threads beneath the surface: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection is made explicit and powerful. This book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, featuring their takes on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, and self-portraiture.
