Acrylic on canvas panel Nua is a fictional character from one of many stories I am developing. He is known for his telepathic abilities of extra sensory perception, mind reading and teleportation. Nua acts as a strong defense for Neteferet being that he can create an invisible energy barrier around the village. This shields from any attacks that can happen at any time.

Jay Golding’s figurative paintings and drawings evoke mythology, migration, and interconnectedness, creating literal and symbolic layers employed by vibrant palettes in acrylics and oils, sometimes incorporating collaged or impastoed elements. Golding’s emphasis on tribal cultures within his work, often infuses Caribbean and African cultural motifs allowing him to draw parallels between various communities–expressed by his masked figures and other fictional characters such as the purple-skinned beings from the village “Maji ya bluu”, which is Swahili for blue water. Golding frequently signs his work under the pseudonym Kwame, a name he donned after visiting Ghana in 2019 with his family. He cites his trip to the West African nation as well as Mexico as being life changing and having profound effects on his work.
