Tears of Gold – Beauty in Breakage

Original artwork by Pascal Benecke

The motif – pain that shines

“Tears of Gold” shows a female face – fragile, intense, broken.
But it is not blood that flows from the cracks, but liquid gold .

• One eye looks clear, almost otherworldly

• The other sinks into darkness

• The cracks: brutal and beautiful at the same time – Kintsugi in teardrop shape

These tears are not signs of weakness , but scars of survival .
They tell of pain, loss, healing – and how something precious can emerge from destruction.

Technique & Expression

• Mixed media on canvas : charcoal, acrylic, structural paste, gold leaf/metallic effect

• Dimensions : 120 × 100 cm

• Signed & unique – with certificate of authenticity

Benecke combines classic portrait technique with raw energy from splashes, scratches and shiny cracks.
The result is a visual and emotional overload that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally pleasing.

Symbolism – Kintsugi of the soul

Inspired by the Japanese concept of Kintsugi , in which broken ceramics are repaired with gold, Benecke transforms emotional fractures into dignified beauties .
“Tears of Gold” shows that fragility is not the end – but the beginning of depth .

The golden lines are not an ornament. They are transformation .
