DAY 1 - "DARKNESS"

MATERIALS

This piece is a personal exploration of darkness, crafted with love and meticulous attention over several weeks. It features four distinct layers of resin, each carefully painted and infused with mica, gold, and pearl pigments, over a base of silver leaf. The final layer, the face, is painted traditionally with oil paint. The intricate layering and interplay of dark colourful pigments over silver create subtle depth and replicate the essence of darkness. Measuring 38x38 inches, the artwork is painted on a high-quality birch wood panel, and comes custom framed and ready to hang.

Every piece is created with the highest quality materials, ensuring that the art not only captivates but endures. This commitment extends from the canvas, paint, resin and leaf I choose, all selected to reflect the depth and sincerity of the message.

MEANING:

Art has this beautiful way of telling us that we matter. When we recognize elements of our own lives and identities in artwork, it’s like finding a piece of home—it comforts us and boosts our self-esteem. 

Art should act as a mirror, reflecting our stories and  fostering empathy and curiosity across all backgrounds. Through my “Days of Creation” series I aim to demonstrate that art is not just for observation—it’s a dynamic tool for dialogue. This series is meant to reimagine traditional biblical narratives in an abstract way—embracing a variety of interpretations and spiritualities. 

Having diverse art within our personal proximity, dismantles barriers and cultivates feelings of  empathy and interconnectedness. As I share each "day," with you, my hope is to illuminate hearts and minds—fostering a deeper, shared collective appreciation for the complex beauty of creation.
