Fragments of Gold and Silence

In Fragments of Gold and Silence, the artist employs abstraction as a medium for articulating inner landscapes — elusive, layered, and emotionally resonant.

 

Blocks of color — deep burgundy, black, ochre, and soft nudes — are interspersed with gilded surfaces that introduce a rhythm akin to the architecture of memory.

The composition balances intuitive gesture with structural rigor.

 

While narrative is absent, a visual dialogue unfolds between the material and the metaphysical. Texture operates not as surface ornament, but as a vehicle of expression. Gold here does not merely embellish — it ruptures the pictorial field, functioning as a signifier of the sacred, the lost, or the repressed.

 

Rather than offering resolution, the work opens a space for introspective reflection — a space suspended between brilliance and void, embodiment and erasure.
