Description:

This evocative female portrait is crowned in luminous gold, yet her face appears smudged and dissolving — a compelling metaphor for the tension between value and vulnerability. Golden invites viewers to reflect on the cost of beauty and the erosion of identity behind external expectations.

The use of gold leaf contrasts with raw brushwork, symbolizing the fragile balance between reverence and ruin. Perfect for collectors of modern figurative art, statement wall décor, or anyone drawn to deep narrative in contemporary painting.
