Nostalgia meets raw self-expression in this intimate series of abstract figurative paintings. Inspired by a rediscovered 1970s family photo album, Faded & Found: Gilded Rebellion captures the bold spirit and rebellious intimacy of a bygone era. Each piece is a journey into the past, rendered in a signature oil over mixed media technique. I’ve layered rich textures with glowing metal leaf to emulate the warm, hazy light of vintage film and the "gilded" memories of deep friendship. These contemporary figurative abstracts explore the connection between freedom and identity, making them the perfect statement pieces for collectors of modern vintage art and expressive portraiture.
