There is a deeper light - the quiet gleam of stone, the slow pulse of earth, the shimmer of what endures. In the hands of the artist, minerals become memory, and pigments are born not from invention - but from excavation.
What is painted here was once part of the mountain, pressed by time, ground by force, and now rests in silence on linen. This is not ornament. It is substance made visible, the voice of the world speaking softly through form.
Through Elias Franziskus Grüner’s “BUNTE STEINE, Royal Gates opens a space where the surface is not an end, but a threshold - from the seen to the essential, from the fragment to the whole.
