Coral Red Abstract Painting: The Garden Breathes Light by Surreal Media

This scene opens like a gateway: a dramatic expanse of clouds at the top, from which broad bands of light cascade downwards – in shades of peach, lavender and soft gold – straight into the garden below. Trees frame the scene on the left and right, with flowers in shades of pink, yellow and purple lining a narrow stream, in which the light is reflected once more, somewhat more slowly. What makes this work special to me is a small coral-red speck high up amongst the clouds, just a little brighter than the rest, as if the sun had briefly broken through its own veil there. The inspiration came from the image of a garden that seems to literally breathe as the sun sets, that moment when colours open up rather than fade. The atmosphere is warm at the top and calmer, cooler towards the bottom – a transition that keeps the whole piece in balance. The emotion I wanted to convey is a kind of quiet wonder, the feeling that for a moment you need do nothing but look. Technically speaking, this is a digital artwork, created to resemble thick layers of paint with a pronounced texture, making the light seem to almost emanate from the canvas. This is how ‘'n beeld goed boven een bank, in een eetkamer met veel gesprekken, of in een gang waar je elke dag even langsloopt en telkens iets nieuws ontdekt. Het past bij mensen die houden van tuinieren, van reizen naar plekken met veel groen, of gewoon van een rustig moment aan het einde van de dag.
