Legacy of Gold & diamonds by Oscar Ekmerdji – Signature Mixed-Media Art
This is not just an artwork — it is a chapter of my life.
“Legacy of Gold & Concrete” is a one-of-a-kind mixed-media piece built inside a vintage plastic-wood frame, transformed by hand with layers of concrete, plaster, faux-gold leaf, crystals, fake diamonds, quartz, and symbolic objects such as a faux grenade and projectiles.
Every element carries my personal history — my struggles, my evolution, and my journey as Oscar Ekmerdji.
The black modern lines across the white surface represent duality:
the chaos and the calm, the danger and the discipline, the past and the transformation.
I am not an angel, but I always try to do things right.
Art became the balance, the antidote, the reason to stay grounded.
The gold represents the past — the days when dealing with gold, diamonds, and fast money created a version of myself that felt powerful, but also violent and stressed.
The concrete represents the weight I carried.
The crystals represent clarity and hope.
The grenade represents the pressure of survival.
My name carved into the gold symbolizes the moment I chose art as my true path.
This piece is a personal archive, a symbol of evolution, and a reflection of everything that shaped me.
