Fronsac

Fronsac is an abstract painting from the Bordeaux series, inspired by the layered character of the wine region it is named after. The work carries a fresh tension: between structure and movement, between control and letting go. The foundation consists of layers of different metallic pigments. On top of these, rich burgundy and deep red tones are built up, combined with accents of oxidized green and golden green. These shades give the painting a vibrant, almost youthful energy – like a young wine still developing over time. The contrast between warm richness and rougher, unexpected nuances creates a dynamic composition. Fronsac was created from the idea of building a space where calmness and allure come together, without everything needing to feel perfect. It is precisely the edge of imperfection that gives the work character and openness. A counterbalance to overly polished interiors – a work that dares to breathe. Fronsac reflects the tension between control and release. Between logic and warmth. It is exactly within that contrast that the most interesting image emerges for me. The painting is framed in dark wood with a subtle wine-red glow, deepening the palette and quietly bringing the entire piece together.
