Dusk
This painting is part of a diptych the theme of which is opposite times of the day. To me Dusk and Dawn, although opposites, are both incredibly dreamy and introspective times of the day. I wanted to bring out those feelings in my work and I think the mirror-like shine of the gold leaf is perfect for expressing these concepts of reflection and introspection.
I created the base on both panels with water gilding. This ancient technique uses real gold leaf and many layers of traditional materials such as gesso and bole. I had the priviledge of learning water gilding at a young age and I'm proud to carry on this historical technique.
