Natural materials and metals
This art panel includes various metal inserts and a big number of engraved writings. The metals used are; bronze, copper, stainless steel, brass, and 24k gold. The metal inserts are engraved in low relief then brushed, glazed, and hand fixed one by one transforming it into a wonderful metal mosaic on genuine stone background.
On the different metal engraved pieces are presently more than 300 engraved writings glazed by hand. All the engraved writings indicate the important cities, lakes, rivers, etc. Each nation is a different piece in different metal as well as all the major islands. All metals are mounted on a sheet of genuine grey stone named '' Aurisina''. The stone is contoured, varnished, and digitally printed, overall metals fixed on the stone are also fixed on pinewood base panel varnished wengè color and polished by hand with wax.The stone sheet is all frosted and leveled by hand in order to apply all the metals in such a way as not to create differences of planarity between the metals. In the left corner below there is a steel summary with all the information on the map.
