About "Golden Scars - Broken Silence"

by Klaus Tesching

About the artwork

This work is a poignant interplay of fragility and strength, of decay and elegance. The face, gentle and almost enraptured, seems to emerge from the broken wall, as if it were becoming visible again from a bygone era. The closed eyes lend the scene a meditative calm, while the bright red lips radiate a contrasting intensity - a symbol of unspoken words, suppressed emotions or a lost voice.

The cracks that stretch across the picture resemble a cracked surface that can no longer completely conceal the past. The golden structure that rises from the fractures is particularly striking. It is reminiscent of the art of Kintsugi, in which broken objects are repaired with gold to honour their history. But here the gold seems to be more than just a repair - it acts as a force that tries to hold what has fallen apart together again, a reminder that beauty also exists in destruction.

The subtle splashes of colour and the lines running along the lower edge of the picture reinforce the impression of a work that is in a state of flux, that is not finished but in constant transformation.

"Golden Scars - Broken Silence" is a reflection on transience, on the beauty in imperfection and on how memories live on in the fractures. It challenges the viewer not only to see the surface, but to explore the story behind it - a powerful image that resonates.
