"LIKE A RAINBOW" ORIGINAL PAINTING
“Like a Rainbow” is a nostalgic, hyperrealistic tribute to the iconic friendship bracelets of the 1980s, reimagined through a modern pop art lens. Hand-painted in rich, layered archival watercolor and accented with luminous gold leaf, this one-of-a-kind piece captures the intricate knots, textures, and colors that once bound friendships on playgrounds, at summer camp, and in locker-lined hallways.
It’s a visual love letter to Gen X—an era of mixtapes, Dr. Martens, and moments that mattered. Whether you wore one or gave one away, the memory still shimmers.
Medium: Watercolor & 24k Gold Leaf on 100% Cotton Archival Paper
Size: unframed 22×30,” framed
Certificate of Authenticity Included
Golden Ties blends emotional memory with elevated materials. Its gold leaf shimmer isn’t just decorative—it’s symbolic, turning a simple handmade bracelet into something timeless and treasured.
Whether you’re an art lover drawn to hyperrealistic technique, or a nostalgic soul reconnecting with your roots, this piece is a tactile reminder of connection, creativity, and the threads that never really break.
