Legend for painting no. 222 – BUNMEE

BUNMEE (No. 222, 100 x 100 cm, July 2024)

“This is a gift from me”

Painted in a moment of great distress, BUNMEE is part of a series of four works born from the same breath, at a time when betrayal, absence, and grief surrounded the children I had left in the care of failing adults.

Dominated by deep blacks, this painting nevertheless allows a cascade of gold to emerge—a fall of light—like a reminder: life, even wounded, continues to give. The gold does not conceal the pain, but responds to it with a silent radiance.

This painting is a gift, an act of faith in the invisible, in that which is reborn even when everything seems to fade away.
