The composition is built from layered, crumpled, and scorched sheets with curling, charred edges that create a tactile relief across the surface. A palette of muted olive-grey, faded green, and parchment tones is framed by deep burnt umber, rust, and soot-black carbon along the torn contours, creating a raw, topographic interplay of depth and shadow.
Roman Mykhailov works with the deformation of images, conceptual graphics, and social symbolism, exploring how materials change under intense physical interventions.
Measuring 180 × 145 cm, this monumental piece serves as an imposing focal point in contemporary, minimalist, or brutalist spaces, harmonizing with architectural surfaces like exposed concrete, dark timber, and patinated steel.
