Veins of Light

Veins of Light
Nancy Le, 50 × 60 in, Acrylic and Gold Leaf on Canvas

In this work, fractured lines of gold traverse soft planes of blue, gray, and white, evoking both fragility and strength. The composition recalls the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken vessels are repaired with precious metals, transforming scars into beauty. Le’s textured surfaces suggest landscapes both earthly and celestial, as though light itself had split open the canvas. The painting speaks of resilience, healing, and the hidden radiance of imperfection
