Spring

This original artwork, titled Spring, explores warmth, closeness, and quiet presence through material and texture. Rich layers, warm tones, and hand-applied gold create a tactile surface that holds light rather than reflects it. Delicate pencil details soften the composition, adding intimacy and a sense of calm. At its core, the work reflects the existential rhythm of spring — a time of restoration and awakening. The circular movement suggests cycles of return and renewal, while the flowing forms evoke the gentle stirring of life after stillness. There is a sense of something re-emerging from within: not sudden, but inevitable, like the first warmth in the air or the quiet unfolding of growth. The gold becomes a symbol of this inner renewal — a subtle radiance that speaks of meaning rediscovered and presence regained. Painting Acrylic, texture paste, and metal leaf on canvas 50 x 50 cm 2026
