Buried Gold
A Tribute to Black History, this hand-painted, original mixed-media artwork is a powerful tribute to the figures and moments that shaped Black history.
Created over approximately 100 hours, this 24" x 36" pre-gessoed canvas embodies resilience, leadership, and the fight for justice.
Using a rich combination of mica powder, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, and gold leaf, the textures and tones bring depth to the piece, while a varnish seal ensures its longevity.
The gold buried features Martin Luther King Jr. at the forefront, surrounded by Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Huey P. Newton, and symbolic elements like a crowned fist, broken chains, and a vintage bus, representing key moments in the civil rights movement. The gold leaf accents shimmer against the dark, layered background, symbolizing the brilliance of these leaders rising through struggle.
The subtle incorporation of newspaper clippings and historical references adds a collage-like effect, reinforcing the depth of the story being told. This painting is more than art—it's history captured in motion, a piece that commands reflection and honors the fight for equality.
