The Artist’s Touch

Gouache on Ampersand Aquabord

18” x 24”

This scene was inspired by the Japanese practice of “kintsugi” (repairing broken pottery with gold), which embraces the idea that brokenness can lead to more beauty as gold fills the cracks and creates glimmering fault lines. Marble statues stand tall in postures of praise with gold running through where they were once broken. The Artist who carefully carved their forms also repaired them, making them more beautiful and precious than they were before. As the ruins continue crumbling around them, they remain standing tall worshiping their Creator
