Diosa by Kim Rose

“Diosa is a goddess created in layers of twenty-four-karat gold,” says the website of Los Angeles–based artist Kim Rose. “This goddess was meant to be adored by all who view her. She comprises a traditional gold underlayer fused with Kim’s new technique for a matte top layer. This is a fusion of rich, timeless tradition—used to paint churches and rare jewelry—and a new luxurious technique. Diosa pushes the boundaries of minimalism while telling a story of the harmony between the past and present.”
