This painting is inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of hiding the cracks, the golden seams highlight them—showing that damage can become part of something even more beautiful. In A Resilient Heart, the heart has been broken and healed, with each golden line symbolizing strength, growth, and resilience. Mindful mark making is seen in the use of patterns and colours. This reminds us that while life can leave us bruised or hurt, it is the process of learning and of healing that makes us stronger. Our scars tell a story, not of weakness, but of courage and the beauty of becoming whole again.
Acrylic paint, oil pastel, plaster, gold leaf, washi tape. 27.5” x 27.5” on canvas.
