The candlestick is carved from lime wood, primed and coated with gesso, which gives the surface its characteristic texture. The warmth emanating from beneath is created by a red undercoat. A shellac primer adds strength to the layers. A distinctive feature of this sculpture is its almost complete coverage with transfer gold / potala. It is this that glimmers from beneath the paint as we delicately rub it in. For this candlestick, we explored the colour palette used in Ukrainian sacred and applied sculpture to convey the solemnity, joy and cosiness that reign in the family home.
