Depiction：
Birth of Gold (2024) exemplifies Jan Maarten Voskuil’s ongoing exploration of the intersection between painting and sculpture. The work employs gold leaf on a curved canvas structure, blurring the boundary between surface and volume. Its luminous skin shifts with the viewer’s movement, reflecting light in subtle variations that evoke both solemnity and sensuality. Within the Birth series, Voskuil focuses on the purity of a single color, questioning its inherent value and spiritual resonance. Gold, in this context, symbolizes eternity, sanctity, and renewal.
