Fascinated by the interplay of fragility and opulence, the artist sought to create a piece that feels both delicate and luxurious. They started by applying thick, white layers, then carefully cracked and chipped them to mimic aged plaster. Next, gold leaf was strategically placed in the crevices, adding a touch of glamour to the worn - looking surface. The process was meticulous – each crack had to be intentional, each gold accent thoughtfully positioned. This large - scale artwork is designed to be a showstopper in a luxe - themed dining room. It tells a story of beauty emerging from imperfection, much like how precious moments can arise in the midst of life’s chaos. When guests gather around your dining table, this piece will draw them in, inviting them to appreciate the contrast of raw texture and radiant gold, and to ponder the artist’s journey of blending vulnerability and luxury.
