Gold and Water is an invitation to slow down, to step back, and to breathe again.
In this striking painting, Damien Bassez combines the refined realism of the geisha painted in oil with a traditional background in acrylic and gold leaf. The contrast between the calm, delicate face and the energetic gold gestures behind her creates a beautiful tension — like silence in the middle of movement, or calm in the middle of chaos and freedom
The gold leaf catches the light and changes throughout the day, making the painting alive depending on where you stand and how the light enters the room. The silver background enhances the red kimono and porcelain skin, creating a composition that is both elegant, powerful, and timeless.
The title “Gold and Water” is essential to the work. The painting is not only about a portrait — it is about a state of mind. It reminds us to slow down, to breathe, to find calm and inner balance in a world that moves too fast.
This artwork works beautifully in a living room, bedroom, office, or entrance, where it immediately becomes a focal point and creates a peaceful but strong atmosphere.
This is not just a painting you hang on a wall.
It is a painting that changes the atmosphere of a room and the way you feel inside it.
Provenance
Very influenced by the aesthetic details of Japanese painting, Damien Bassez uses oil, acrylic and gold leaf to create these beautiful asian women.Exhibitions
