Monochrome Rainbow (Triptych, 2025)
Mixed Media on Fabriano Paper | Caelthorne
1. “Aesthetically Bleeding Love, with Pride”
Gold tears, fragmented forms, and deliberate symmetry meet in this haunting portrait of vulnerability. A study in contrasts—sharp versus soft, beauty versus brokenness—the piece bleeds not just colour, but meaning. Within its precision is a yearning: to be seen wholly, not in parts. Here, pride is not a performance but an ache made beautiful.
This work reminds us that queerness, too, is survival with style.
2. “Dear Angel, Cry Us a Rainbow. With Love, Your Demons”
An open letter in paint and pencil, this piece fuses celestial and infernal metaphors to explore queer emotionality—where joy and pain often cohabitate. The divine cries not because it is weak, but because it feels everything. Gold floods the cracks, offering grace. Pride, in this context, is what rises from sorrow: layered, lush, defiant.
A love note from shadow to light, from mask to soul.
3. “Divine Ambiguity and Love, with Pride”
(Previously shared but adapted for cohesion here)
A gaze carved from myth and mirror, this portrait honors the sanctity of in-between spaces. Gender dissolves, gold flows, and ambiguity reigns divine. The work transcends celebration, becoming a shrine to the multifaceted, the fluid, and the fiercely proud.
This is not a face—it is a feeling, drawn in love, crowned in pride.
From Caelthorne: "This triptych was indeed one of the most personal and emotional artworks that I've produced to date. With the narrative, the story behind each face and the message I wish to portray has been a journey of vulnerability and re-discovering myself through art. I hope that at least one of these piece will touch your soul, for just a split second!"
