In Japan, when a bowl breaks, it is sometimes mended with gold, and the crack becomes the most beautiful part. That is kintsugi. On a golden background I painted a free shape with a dark heart, crossed with red, yellow and black, all cracked, then sealed under a glossy resin like a stone.

Leonard Cohen sang it better than I can: "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." Here the gold does not hide the fractures, it follows them.

It belongs to my Colors in Freedom collection.

This painting has been adopted. If it speaks to you, have a look at the available works of the collection, or send me a message on WhatsApp.
