Golden Illusions on Black Velvet by Gazelle Mka in Portsmouth

Golden Illusions on Black Velvet

I used liquid gold leaf on a black velvet canvas to create a striking contrast between light and shadow. The figure emerges through carefully painted gold highlights, mimicking the effect of striped light falling across the body. The fluidity of the gold leaf adds a soft glow, making the figure appear almost three-dimensional against the deep black background. Every stroke was precisely placed to enhance the contours and depth, giving the illusion of movement and emotion. The velvet canvas absorbs the light, making the gold leaf stand out even more, creating a mesmerising interplay of darkness and radiance. This artwork is all about contrast, mystery, and the beauty of light shaping form.
