Mysterious Gold leaf paintings by Yoann Lossel
Mysterious Gold leaf paintings by Yoann Lossel. French
artist Yoann Lossel (born 23 May 1985) transforms mythological world with its fantastic images, landscapes, scene compositions into his gold leaf paintings. Mythology of the world and his own dreams become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the talented graphic artist, author of a series of paintings framed in gilded ornament in art nouveau style with elements of Celtic epic. Peculiar combination of gold leaf and monochrome images of the scene or portrait, traced with many details, working with a Graphite, Gold leaf and hydrangea petals, or ink stains with blackouts – became the hallmark of the artist.

The tragedy is not to die, but to be wasted.

Circling is an extremely personal project, one that came from trying to deal with a period of intense fear and worry. Bright colors and happy thoughts are usually our driving forces, but some days take their toll, and this was our way of dealing with anxiety.
Making something constructive out of a stressful state of mind was a way of feeling less helpless, literally turning darkness into beauty.
Each piece is handmade using cut and layered iridescent gold and black paper.
