This work is painted on aluminum, a raw and honest material that immediately gives character to the whole. The title refers to aluminum itself: atomic number 13 in period 3, and the completion date of March 13, 2026.
The image is constructed as a flowing checkerboard pattern with alternating areas of paint and black pen. The paint brings expression and freedom, while the pen provides control and structure.
The combination enhances the character's appearance: straightforward, without doubt. Self-assured and present. Just like the aluminum, she exudes a raw power.
In her glasses, you can see the light reflecting, which adds extra depth to the work and subtly brings back the material.
