This immaculate surface, which is shiny and also shows a dégradés, has colour variations, made in steps. It appears to be made production-wise, with a highly technical device, but in fact is handmade. It's car-lacquer that is painstakingly mixed by hand and applied segment by segment. The work reflects, as mirrors do, but it also reflects in a way that creates another space. It has the element of water, or the sea. Blue is the colour of space.
