The Power You Carry by David Kirkman is a vibrant original that celebrates strength, resilience and the quiet power we all hold within. Created with acrylic on canvas, the piece measures 101 x 76 cm, offering an impactful presence while remaining versatile enough for a variety of interior spaces.

A sweeping band of textured gold leaf moves confidently across the canvas, acting as both a visual anchor and a symbolic thread running through the work. Surrounding it, David’s expressive language of colour and intricate line work comes alive — bursts of electric pink, turquoise, coral and deep blue intertwine to create a rich, energetic landscape that feels full of movement and possibility.

The contrast between the luminous gold and the vivid layers of colour gives the painting depth and rhythm, inviting the viewer to explore its many details. As with much of David’s work, the composition rewards time and attention, revealing subtle shapes, fragments and flowing forms that gradually emerge from the vibrant surface.

Presented in a black wood tray frame, The Power You Carry feels both contemporary and refined. Uplifting and dynamic, the piece serves as a beautiful reminder of the strength and potential that lives within us all, bringing colour, warmth and inspiration into any space.
