About Gold

Gold has been a popular material for artists throughout history, prized for its shiny and reflective surface and malleability.

Artists have used gold leaf, made by hammering gold into thin sheets, since ancient times to decorate religious objects and frames for paintings and sculptures.

Today, artists continue to experiment with gold in creative ways, from gilding to mixed media pieces.

At our family business, we use gold leaf to accentuate our Vinca motif prints, paying homage to ancient miners and creating a unique and striking piece of art that captures the beauty of this precious material.
