The glint of memories

This painting is a celebration of memory—of sun-warmed stones, salt air, and the quiet joy of discovery. The seashells and starfish, abstracted and reimagined, become more than marine life; they are fragments of stories, tokens of time. The gold leaf glints like sunlight on water, suggesting something precious and eternal. I see this piece as a meditation on nature’s artistry and the way we carry beauty with us, even in fragments. It invites the viewer to look closer, to find wonder in the details, and to remember that even the smallest things can hold the deepest meaning.
