The Golden Paradox: Joy and Mystery Intertwined

About this artwork

This painting is a dance between light and shadow, joy and unease. The golden lines give the central figure a glowing, almost ethereal presence, yet its swirling eyes tell two different stories—one vibrant with red and green energy, the other wide and hypnotic, as if caught in an eerie trance. The smile is uncertain, teetering between warmth and something more enigmatic, like a laugh that could turn into a whisper in the dark.
Hints of fiery hues in the background suggest transformation, passion, or perhaps an approaching storm. And in the lower corner, a ghostly face lingers—a companion or a secret specter, watching, whispering, waiting.
This piece invites you in with its golden glow but leaves you questioning—where does joy end and mystery begin?

David Briggs: Vision Reimagined

Born legally blind, David Briggs saw his first cloud at nine—an experience that shaped his unique artistic vision. A trailblazer in tech, he founded an autostereoscopic tablet company, earning recognition from The New York Times, TechCrunch, and Engadget. His journey then took an unexpected turn as an elite Las Vegas vacation rental host, welcoming over a million visitors before fully embracing his passion for art.Briggs’ work is a bold fusion of structure and spontaneity, influenced by Kandinsky’s color energy and Kahlo’s emotional depth. Moving fluidly between oil, acrylic, and mixed media, he transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.“My art is a bridge between worlds,” Briggs says. “It’s a conversation between who I was and who I’m becoming.”Now pushing the boundaries of creativity, he explores the intersection of digital technology and traditional painting, proving that vision isn’t just about sight—it’s about perspective.
