Alexis Peskine presents OURO VERDE, a series of large-scale portraits and tactile panels that investigate Afro-descendant identity, memory and collective spiritual experience. Using nails hammered with extreme precision into wood stained with coffee, leaves, flowers, mud and Swiss indigenous earth and plants, Peskine develops a unique, time-honed technique. The works engage ancestral healing traditions—including Candomblé from his maternal lineage—and probe resonances between African and European practices, revealing how material processes can evoke ritual, remembrance and cultural continuity.
