A moment before knowing

Oil, gold 9k leaf on Canvas
50x50 cm

This evocative portrait captures a moment of inner awakening, suspended between vulnerability and transcendence. A serene woman, eyes closed, receives a golden thread from a colossal, sculptural hand—perhaps divine, perhaps symbolic of her own higher self. The warm golden background radiates like an aura, while textured brushstrokes ground the piece in tactile emotion. The gold lines suggest paths of energy or destiny, converging at her crown. This artwork speaks to the sacred within the individual: the quiet power of self-realization, of becoming through stillness.
