Composition in orange and brown

by Petra Schüßler

‘Composition in Orange and Brown’ is one of my most successful works from an exclusive series of geometrically abstract acrylic paintings, created during an intense, ten-year creative period between 2006 and 2015. The painting captivates with its perfectly balanced, warm colour palette of soft beige, earthy brown tones and intensely vibrant orange.

A closer look reveals the technical ingenuity: using my elaborate layering and blending technique, I have superimposed geometric areas of colour in such a way as to create a fascinating, almost relief-like texture with subtle lines and hidden depths. The inspiration for this series lies in the search for order, harmony and inner peace. Whilst other works captivate with their impulsive dynamism, this composition focuses entirely on the meditative balance of clear, geometric forms and flowing transitions. Accompanied by relaxing sounds, this painting was created in a state of deep mindfulness, with the aim of transferring pure, harmonising energy onto the canvas.

In an interior setting, the painting acts as a timeless, elegant haven of tranquillity. By avoiding garish yellow, it exudes a particularly refined, unobtrusive warmth and a sense of security. As a square eye-catcher, it is ideal for lending a living room, bedroom or modern office a harmonious, structured and cosy atmosphere. A perfect statement piece for lovers of minimalist, expressive contemporary art.
