#silver leaf

Renarin Kholin on oxidized silver leaf with silver and burnt copper and gold —— which I flamed myself. ✨

It’s rare that I make cosmere fan art with any type of analogue medium, but it‘s been a refreshing change of pace between commissions.

some step by step images below the cut !

Step 1: sketch on tracing paper

Step 2: applied oxidised silver leaf on paper, then carved the sketch on top of it with the tracing paper from the first step

Step 3: applied more details by adding another color of oxidized silver leaf as well as burnt copper and gold leaf

Step 4: line art with waterproof ink

Step 5: the part in which you finally paint

Step 6: last layer; this time it’s silver leaf for the wisps of stormlight.

No more steps! It’s done. 🤲

Helen A1

from The Garden of Myth and Memory

Oil and mixed media on aluminium composite board

2025

Helen A1 explores the shifting figure of Helen—not as a fixed heroine or historical beauty, but as a fractured presence formed through longing, projection, and memory. The painting stages a symbolic garden where botanical forms, hearts, looping lines, and layered colour coexist as emotional fragments. Dense passages of black and blue gather against luminous yellow and open pale space, suggesting both concealment and revelation. Like Helen herself—desired, mythologised, and endlessly retold—the image resists singular interpretation, occupying the unstable territory between apparition and embodiment, landscape and psyche. Within The Garden of Myth and Memory, Helen A1 becomes a meditation on beauty, doubleness, and the stories carried across time.
