NACRE The shape of this sculpture resembles a bowl or a shell. It has so much femininity and grace! But the main feature of this work is the ingenious staining technique, which allowed the artist to create such an unusual texture on the wood. When the art object was almost completed, the author covered it with several shades of light paint. And after painting, he again worked over the surface of the tree. So he managed to achieve the effect of transparency when the natural color of the tree comes through the layers of paint.
