Kintsugi Collection

In creating these pieces for you, my intention is to illuminate the idea of bringing to light the scars that have come from life experiences, finding a new purpose and meaning through aging and loss, seeing love and beauty within what we would otherwise deem as imperfections. None of us are without flaws, but whether we choose to ignore those flaws or adorn them says something about the quality of our lives. Anything broken can be repaired; this is a deep meditation in my life. As an artist, I choose to make these unique works rather than editions to emphasize the value of that which cannot be replicated.

When I traveled to Vienna, one great joy was spending endless afternoons studying Gustav Klimt’s artwork. From this point on, I decided that my work would not only have a golden phase but a golden life where everything is infused with radiant, romantic intimacy and imagery, rich in both textures and meaning. We live in a kaleidoscopic world, which is truly precious, unifying, and infused with meaning.

Through fostering more relaxation, enjoyment, and inner peace, art lowers stress. You may enjoy looking at that painting every time you hang it up in your house after you purchase it. Perhaps the artwork is a peaceful sight of swimming fish or a scenery that makes you yearn for a trip. Thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are hard or impossible to describe are expressed via art. Even though you might not be an artist yourself, you could think that you done a terrific job of expressing your emotions.

Golden Collection by Layla Love 2022 01.jpg

Commissioned by Ena Mays for her Global Initiatvie Something About Love

My journey with employing gold in my artwork began in 2015 while working with Alex Sasqtoque in Bogota, Colombia, where we were using liquid gold to paint statuesque women who I would photograph in salt caves over a mile deep into the eARTh. Amongst salt deposits, we wedged a sculpture entitled Metamorphosis; you can see it in the featured collection below. I felt honored to be able to interpret this sculpture through photography. The sculpture was made of a gun from rebel soldiers welded to a shovel, which was then all dipped in 24-karat gold. I was so moved by how a gun that is used to kill and an ordinary shovel, when brought together under a layer of gold, became something precious, both metaphorically and literally.

As an artist, I have been experimenting with using 24-karat gold leaf on cedarwood. Most recently, I have been painting with 24-karat gold liquid paints onto porcelain, and in the year ahead will be releasing a series of miniature porcelain pieces using only gold, photographic emulsion, and shades of blue.
