Black

It is born from a subtle blend of multiple colors , sometimes enriched with violet, bluish, or brown reflections, which lend it a singular depth. In the crystal paste , this complex hue becomes a testing ground where light slips in, reflects, and vanishes like a breath. Black, according to Daum, is not an absence of color, but a mysterious presence , a fragile balance between shadow and light. It evokes living matter , dense and vibrant, where each reflection reveals an inner radiance. Like the blacks of Soulages , it is an inhabited black, permeated by light, which engages with it rather than erasing it. Working with this hue demands absolute mastery of fire and oxides , a rare alchemy where matter reaches its full intensity. Black then becomes a silent song , a color of emotion and depth, a symbol of the modernity and creative power of the House of Daum.
