This art piece blends historical elegance with contemporary street art, featuring a sheet of Rouge Belge marble. This Belgian marble, renowned for its rich red color with elegant grey touches, was highly coveted in the 17th and 18th centuries, adorning grand palaces, majestic castles, churches, and luxurious homes. Rouge Belge marble is now increasingly difficult to find.
In a nod to upcycling, the marble was reclaimed from old Belgian house chimneys, meticulously cleaned, and renovated to preserve its historic charm while giving it new life. The modern twist comes from the black and white graffiti art applied to the marble surface. This bold contrast between the timeless sophistication of the marble and the contemporary graffiti creates a powerful visual dialogue.
