Our Artistic Philosophy
At Patina Copper Art, we are a dedicated collective of artists, led by Russ Creations, who specialize in creating unique artworks in harmony with nature. Every piece of art we craft begins with a pure copper sheet, and through a meticulous process of aging, oxidizing, and painting, we collaborate with the elements to bring our visions to life.
The Natural Creative Process
Our approach to art is unconventional, requiring us to relinquish control and trust in nature’s creative process. Patience is essential as we allow the copper to transform naturally. Once the desired effect is achieved, we add oil paint and apply a protective coating to preserve the artwork’s final appearance, ensuring its longevity.
Why We Use 99.9% Pure Copper
We are committed to using 99.9% pure copper, a choice rooted in our belief in the power of natural materials. Our goal is not only to create visually stunning pieces but also to bring the raw, elemental energy of copper into your home. Unlike traditional canvases made from mixed materials like acrylic, wood, and plastic, our copper art is built to endure, offering a lasting presence that connects you with nature. Copper, the 29th element on the periodic table, is a timeless material that will remain long after we are gone.
Minimalist Design with Nature at Its Core
Our artistic philosophy is minimalist, allowing the natural beauty of the copper to take center stage. Our interventions are subtle, designed to enhance rather than overshadow the copper’s inherent qualities. However, if you have a specific vision or request, we welcome you to reach out to us via email. We are always open to collaborating on custom projects that bring your ideas to life.
