About the artwork

This work confronts the viewer with tense symbolism: a flawless face, expressive red lips - and a massive golden structure that covers the eyes. The bar of cracked, textured gold acts like an impenetrable barrier that restricts vision and perception in equal measure. It seems to be both a sign of wealth and a metaphor for blindness to the truth.

The colour palette dominates with contrasting tones: gold stands for power, light and knowledge, while the surrounding black and grey create a rough, almost urban atmosphere. The background looks like an abstract collage of textures, fragments and layers of colour, reminiscent of a painted-over wall full of secrets. The occasional red accents break up the austere composition and repeatedly draw the eye to the figure's open lips - as if she is about to speak or reveal a secret.

The picture raises questions: Is the golden bar a symbol of censorship or of protection from a painful reality? Does it conceal a deeper realisation or does it protect the figure from what it would otherwise have to see? The tension between visibility and concealment, expression and silence, leaves room for interpretation.

"Golden Blindness - The Hidden Truth" invites us to reflect on the nature of perception. It questions whether what shines is always valuable - or whether true realisation sometimes lies precisely where we are not allowed or do not want to look.
