Gold embrace is exactly that: an embrace inspired by this gold coloured pigment that is made of the warmth of the late afternoon light. It is made of love, made of the buzzing life that is palpable when you walk through the fields at the golden hour in the fall.
My intention was to blur the division that is often seen between us and nature. Whenever I see David walking around those fields, I don't see him as being in the field, I see him as being an integral part of it, as if at this very moment, the field and the light couldn't exist without him there. Maybe what I am sensing is his love and his deep sense of belonging toward this place. I was there too and I felt part of it too. I felt lucky, inspired and I wholeheartedly knew I was going to paint it soon.
