A gilded religious icon of the Virgin Mary sits at the center of an ornate frame adorned with baroque flourishes, surrounded by a symmetrical field of hand-painted Sicilian maiolica tiles in cobalt blue, yellow, and green that feature intricate geometric patterns and citrus motifs. The composition radiates outward from the sacred center, blending spiritual imagery with the warm, earthen palette of traditional Mediterranean ceramics in a rhythmic, jewel-box arrangement. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
