Wooden Picture Frame, Orange and Violet

Small lime wood picture frame, hand-made. The untreated wood is finished with a khaki coloured tempera paint, with a contrasting fuchsia coloured interior border. This ultra contemporary frame, made entirely by hand, reflects the primary characteristics of true craftsmanship nowadays: on the one hand it demonstrates stylistic rigour and formal knowledge of the craft through the precise, expert execution of the work. On the other hand it shows a touch of inventiveness and artistic creativity, in this case through using a bright, modern colour, making this artisan object a sophisticated, modern accessory and a cult interior design piece.
