Description
Echoes of The Heart is a meditation on presence, memory, and the untouchable center within us all. Layer upon layer of translucent teal paint creates a surface that feels fluid and alive—each layer representing the people, places, and moments that move through our lives and hearts.

Amid these shifting tones rests a single section of hand-applied silver leaf: a luminous still point symbolizing the part of us that remains untouched—the inner sanctuary where silence meets the divine. The silver becomes both a mirror and a guide, inviting quiet reflection and deeper connection.

Intended as both artwork and meditation tool, Echoes of The Heart transforms with light and contemplation, offering a tranquil space for the viewer to return to again and again.

Silver leaf transforms a surface into a living reflection. Unlike traditional paint, it interacts directly with light—catching highlights, shifting tone, and revealing subtle depth as the environment changes. In daylight, it glows with a cool radiance; under warm interior light, it softens to a quiet shimmer.

This dynamic quality gives each piece a presence that evolves throughout the day. Rather than a static image, silver leaf artwork becomes part of its surroundings—responding to architecture, movement, and mood. It’s this interplay between art and atmosphere that makes silver leaf pieces feel both timeless and alive.
