(Anatomy of a Gold Dust)

Genesis Artwork for Mint Gold Dust x Lapin Mignon

Anatomie d'Une Poussière d'Or is my very own interpretation of Gold Dust. It shines, it explodes with dreams and hopes, it sparkles with joy, while being delicate and ethereal.

Medium: WaterColour, Golden Ink, Ink and Some Digital Wonders

I hope you feel the joy and happiness through this artwork - This is what Gold Dust, while working on it, meant to me.

The Anatomie, is a serie of work where I leave myself on the automated mode, as Miro did. I soaked in the idea and theme of what Gold Dust means to me - and I felt special, loved and treasured. I felt joy, a creative explosion and happiness. Without overthinking and welcoming my feelings - after few days, I took my paintbrushes, my watercolour, my ink felt pen ... and my golden ink.

And I start splashing the paper with colours. Once dry, the same way you daydream looking above in the sky, talking with the clouds, I start inking some shape between the colour splashes. My mind is almost getting blank, and I focus on the satisfaction of the action - as my 5yo does when he draws - just for the pleasure of the action - no thought about the result. 
And I let my hand drawing and swirling... and something I don't do often - I took a ruler, and start creating geometrical shapes - I love the rythm it added... and I got addicted instqntly, ads you might see, and start creating straight shapes. That as my zone. 

... I took some gold ink, and I dropped it, with my bigger brush (14 size! that's big for watercolour!) and I let them drop as a summer rain on the paper.

Then I digitised the end result, and played with softwares to accentuate the colours and make them pop and create the contrast for more dynamics.

It is always hard to know how the end result would look like - but the most important is the happiness it brought to me in the process... and I looked and the result, and I was massively surprise as this artwork, for a lot of reason, explored unknown areas and outside of my usual comfort zone... without me feeling any discomfort! and I feel happy about this very special Artwork.

So now, I am hoping you can feel this happiness too :)

Anatomie d'Une Poussière d'Or

When Eleonora wrote to me, 2 weeks before the NFT NYC Nov 2021, that my artworks, part of the 8 Genesis Artists, would be exhibited in New York for the Launch of Ming Gold Dust, I jumped of joy.

And seing the pictures of the show with Anatomie d'Une Poussière d'Or on it - my heart melted - in my mind, I was thinking that was it, I made it in a way. 

With the NFT experience I started to learn to love myself - that sounds stupid, but I tend to put myself as a minor priority. Being my deep nature, and then with work, family etc, I don't take time to appreciate what has been done - because I am a busy bee and I am not really in love with me, I focus too much on what needs to be fixed... But with NFT, and seeing all the love around my work, I start to feel the warmth  within me, appreciate who I am, take time to let my creativity flow and share my artwork. This feeling is above all I could describe.

So yet, I jumped with Joy - I feel so so proud... and being part of this with the over 7 AMAZING ARTITST - is just a huge honour.

I can't thank enough Eleonora and Kelly for their love and welcome <3 MERCI, GRAZIE MILLE
