Veil of Memories

Veil of Memories is an original work from the golden portrait series.

A female face emerges through layers of cracked imitation gold leaf and fragments of Chinese handmade paper. The gold is not decoration, it is memory: it breaks, it overlaps, it reveals and hides at the same time.

The surface is built with layers of Chinese handmade paper that bring organic texture and depth, combined with acrylics in burnt dark tones - browns, blacks and ochres - where light bounces on the gold and sinks into shadow.

Inspired by classical portraits but with a contemporary language, it speaks about identity, about what remains and what fades over time.
