Last Night, At Morning Time

Last Night, at Morning Time
The title of this work is the first part of a poem by Hafez:
“Last night, at morning time, me freedom from grief, they gave
And in that darkness of night, me the water-of-life, they gave”

The element of color has been played minor role in toreutics since long ago, consequently, old produced works and almost all of the contemporary works have tonalities of black and white on the metal base color.
The result of my research as a bachelor’s thesis was “producing colored displays by the existing potential in copper and brass themselves so that these colored displays indicate metallic aspects of art metal work and add new colored attractiveness to it without any defect on toreutics identity.”
The blue part in upper side and also the patina in whole of this work are samples for the mentioned claim that try to embody twilight mood of morning time.
