More about this artwork

This compelling piece portrays a craftsman, Arttu, deeply engrossed in the art of embossing copper. The detailed lines etched by Halonen’s skilled hand emphasize the intense focus and steady precision required in metalwork. Arttu is shown bent over his workbench, tools in hand, with a look of focused determination that reflects the dedication to his craft.The setting, suggested by the faint outlines in the background, hints at a cluttered workshop, a space of creative chaos where Arttu transforms ordinary copper into intricate art. The soft, sketch-like quality of the drawing adds a raw, intimate feel to the scene, inviting viewers to appreciate the quiet moments of artisanal labor that are often overlooked.
