AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Veil of Fire embodies the raw power of emotion hidden beneath the surface — the strength that simmers quietly within. Layers of bold acrylics, oils, and textured marks intertwine to reveal a woman suspended between vulnerability and defiance. Her face, partially obscured, becomes a mirror for the inner flames we often hide — the silent intensity of becoming, healing, and reclaiming self.

Created using Chaya De Silva’s signature palette knife technique and vibrant colour language, this piece captures the duality of strength and surrender. Deep reds and turquoise tones pulse with life, while subtle metallics and textures create a luminous, almost sculptural finish.

Each brushstroke tells a story of resilience — of transformation through fire, and beauty found within imperfection.
