The Gilded Garden

The Gilded Garden, oil on canvas, 80 x 80 cm I painted this piece to capture that late summer moment when everything feels rich, glowing and almost heavy with light. Layers of golden yellows radiate against deep greens, inky blues and soft blush tones, creating a garden that feels immersive and alive. Expressive brushwork and scattered drips bring movement and spontaneity, while the florals remain loosely anchored in realism. I love the contrast between warmth and depth here. This painting is bold yet atmospheric, full of energy but grounded in painterly texture. The Gilded Garden is about abundance, light and the quiet luxury of nature in full bloom.
