This transcendental journey permits the review of a fundamental ancient practice: the evocation and adoration of Deities. With zooming into the gold reflective metallic radiance and transcendental identity, we have the ideal representation of the Solar deity’s magnificence. The Gold work of our ancestors has a magical aesthetic background, as well as an intrinsic criterion on the physiology and psychology of represented models in their figures and masks.

Maria Veronica has processed the dissimilarities of some contexts in which gold had been used; mainly emphasizing its use in art, and highlighting the aura of our ancestors’ wisdom associated with an ancient cosmogony. She sintezises it today in what she calls: “neo-generational words”: “divinity,” “consciousness,” “reflection,” “prevention,” “purity” and “splendour”, entering into a field of gold’s light representation and the idea of depurating our consciousness.
