Multi Layered Abstract Relief Art Print Ancient Dreams Appraisal

Multi-Layered Abstract Relief Art Print, 'Ancient Dreams'

This item is a framed, multi-layered abstract relief art print, seemingly titled 'Ancient Dreams' and signed by 'Moreno'. The artwork features a central square motif, composed of several nested squares, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The outermost layer is a textured, off-white paper or board creating a border, with some visible stitching or binding marks along its inner edge, suggesting a handcrafted element. This layer is mounted on a larger, light brown background resembling craft paper. The primary focus of the piece is a large central square, roughly 2:3 ratio in height and width, rendered in a rich, textured golden hue, possibly gold leaf or metallic paint, which shows some subtle creasing and unevenness, adding to its organic feel. Within this golden square, a smaller, darker square is recessed, appearing metallic with a bronze or dark copper sheen and a thin, decorative golden border. At its core, there's a vivid turquoise or teal square, also recessed, with a slightly distressed or textured surface. This innermost square seems to contain subtle, almost obscured patterns or reflections. On the golden background, strategically placed horizontally oriented rectangular elements, likely made of patinated metal or a similar robust material, are present. There are three such elements above and three below the central dark square, each exhibiting a greenish-blue patina. Additionally, two vertical elements flank the central arrangement on the left and right sides, also with a similar patinated finish. The overall aesthetic suggests an ancient, perhaps tribal or archaeological influence, combining earthy tones with vibrant accents. The piece is signed 'Moreno' in the lower right corner, and titled 'Ancient Dreams' in the lower left corner, both in elegant script. The art piece is protected by glass and housed in a simple, thin frame, possibly made of metal or wood, with a metallic finish. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, though reflections on the glass obscure some intricate details. The craftsmanship appears deliberate, combining various textures and layers to create a visually engaging and tactile experience. The use of mixed media and the relief elements indicate a contemporary fine art print with handcrafted features, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
