Obsidian
$1,599
One of a kindPure black, but not flat — Obsidian is built in heavy impasto layers of near-black pigment with subtle variations in sheen, from matte charcoal depths to glossy surfaces that reflect the room like dark glass. Inspired by the volcanic glass that forms when lava cools too fast to crystallize, this 30×40 inch piece brings depth, sophistication, and a commanding quiet to a contemporary living room, bedroom, or executive office. For the collector who understands that black isn't the absence of color — it's the presence of all colors, compressed into something denser.

The Story
Obsidian
“Lei-Kol became fascinated with obsidian after finding a piece in the Arizona desert — jet black, impossibly sharp, formed in seconds from lava that cooled before it could become anything else. Obsidian is a painting about that specific kind of beauty: not soft, not decorative, but absolute and complete and unwilling to justify itself.”

Collector Profile
What this painting actually feels like
Loading…
Mood
An emotionally resonant piece built to anchor a room rather than fade into it. The textured surface creates conversation the moment a guest walks in.
Palette
A confident palette layered for depth — colors that read differently in morning light versus evening lamps, never flat.
Texture
Heavy impasto acrylic worked in dimensional layers. The surface catches and refracts light so the painting subtly changes through the day.
Room Fit
Ideal as a single statement piece on a feature wall. Pairs well with neutral surroundings so the texture and color do the heavy lifting.
Collector Appeal
A genuine one-of-a-kind original with the physical presence collectors increasingly want — something prints and digital art cannot reproduce.
The Value

- 1
It is a true one-of-a-kind original — no editions, no prints, no second copy will ever exist.
- 2

- 3
The textured surface is sculptural — it has real physical presence that flat reproductions cannot match.
- 4
Original abstract paintings hold value over time as the artist's catalog grows; this is part of that catalog.
