Artwork description:

This is a striking gold foil print derived from an original watercolor portrait. The piece exudes a profound emotional depth, as it was created during a challenging period of emotional turmoil, marked by a sequence of distressing events. The downward brushstrokes dominate the composition, reflecting a sense of heaviness and descent, mirroring the state of mind at the time.

The drips and streaks symbolize tears, emotional release, or the inevitability of life's downward pulls. The gold foil overlay introduces an intriguing duality, adding an ethereal quality to an otherwise somber and reflective piece. This juxtaposition suggests resilience or the presence of light amid darkness.

The texture and movement of the brushstrokes, combined with the raw emotion embedded in the colors and composition, make this artwork deeply personal and evocative, inviting viewers to connect with its layered narrative of struggle and endurance.

The piece is 8x10.5inch (203x267mm) on thick 400gsm paper.
