The beauty of concrete. Handmade world map where cement/concrete plays the starring role.
In this case, the map of the world is modelled on an 'acrylic paint' painted navy blue background in an abstract style with clear and rough brushstrokes.

The original world map measures 160x90cm and was photographed in high resolution. The fine and raw details of the dried cement and the rough brushstrokes are therefore clearly visible in. this artwork.
This unique world map looks very nice in a cool boys' room, meeting room (of a construction company) or in a living room or interior with an industrial style that features the Concrete look.
