Alchemy of bloom

This vibrant and expressive painting, created with alcohol ink and gold leaf, bursts with life and movement. Swirling hues of crimson, lime and rose collide and dance across the surface, forming organic, fluid shapes that evoke blooming petals or rushing energy. The gold leaf, brushed boldly across the bottom left and subtly interwoven with the ink, adds a luminous, tactile richness—like sunlight glinting through foliage.
The contrast between the radiant gold and the almost translucent washes of colour creates a sense of depth and vitality. The green tones glow with an inner light, while the reds and pinks pulse like a heartbeat, lending the composition a floral sensuality. At the center, a golden swirl suggests a vortex or the curling of a petal—both intimate and explosive.
It is a piece that captures the moment of transformation—of something about to burst open, bloom, or reveal itself. A celebration of energy, growth, and radiance.
