Preserving Visual History on Metal Sheets
Traditional copper repoussé is a rare, meticulous craft that demands both physical precision and deep artistic patience. By raising relief from the back of the metal sheet (repoussé) and refining the fine details from the front (chasing), history is literally engraved into a permanent metallic medium.
This piece captures a detailed relief depiction of the historic Casbah of Algiers. The shadows, textures, and ambient light bouncing off the hand-hammered details bring the ancient streets to life in a way no digital medium can replicate.
