Ukrainian Gold II by Elisabeth Marsch
Inspired by the Ukrainian flag and the country’s rich gold mines,“Ukrainian Gold II" shows delicate layers of gold leaf clinging to a soft surface of cool copper salt crystals made by a proprietary chemical reaction process. This is a detail of the Triumvirate paintings, a triptych of copper reaction artwork by Elisabeth Marsch. Triumvirate explores themes of glory, courage, and triumph. I offer this NFT in hope of victory and vindication for Ukraine.
