•Through Gilded Thorns and Blind Eyes

16"×18"×1.5" Oil Mixed Media Gallery Wrapped Canvas.

"Gilded Thorns, Blind Eyes"

Lady Justice stands unwavering atop a cactus, her presence both regal and unyielding, embodying the tension between balance and adversity. Circular elements swirl in the background, created through layered marks, spray, and oil paints, adding a sense of movement and mystery, while hidden treasures emerge within the depths of the mixed media textures. Painting this felt like unraveling a paradox—where justice remains blind yet deeply aware, gilded yet scarred, a force both ethereal and unshakable amid the thorns of truth.
