Gustav

2021

Paolo Badesco Costantino Affuso

Gustav aims to celebrate the art of gilding and the use of gold leaf, the technique favoured by Gustav Klimt in particular.

The contrast between the materiality of gold, the purity of the metal and the delicacy of the floral representation creates a unique antithesis, conferring three-dimensionality upon the two-dimensional design. "Whoever knows how to see beautiful things is because he has beauty within himself".

G.Klimt - Paolo Badesco-Costantino Affuso
