Marcescentia. Waning

First series executed with overglaze painting on a finished plate in the theme of «Botanical Garden.»

Inspired by the image of dried plants, the idea for the painting emerged—the beauty and poetry of fading. A small haiku was added to this chosen aesthetic. The painting itself, supporting the theme and mood, was executed on vintage tin food cans.

1. The drawing sketch was transferred by hand to maintain lightness and fit within the vessel.
2. Brushwork applied with overglaze pigments, mixing black and blue.
3. Text added with a pen using the same pigment, followed by the first firing at 870°C.
4. A «second layer» was added with blue glaze, followed by a second firing at 870°C.
