Liquid colours: brown shades flow past and through each other

by Marjolijn van den Berg

"Liquid colours: shades of brown flowing past and through one another" is an abstract work created using various liquids (including paint with fine glitter and "vintage" paint) that "flow" across the canvas.
The colours flow past, through and around one another. This creates an abstract work with beautiful organic lines. If you zoom in on this photo, you can see this clearly. The colours most frequently used in this piece are brown, orange, white and black – retro colours.
This piece is actually a combination of painting and photography. I didn’t ‘paint’ this to create a painting, but experimented with the paint in order to take a photograph. A different approach to that of a ‘traditional’ painter. I enjoy experimenting for photography. I experiment a lot with smoke, water and reflections. And, as you can see here, with different types of paint and liquids.
A kind of dynamic interplay of lines emerges between the different liquids, resulting in an interesting image. This warm colour palette blends well with various interior styles.
This piece would look stunning as wall art, for example on aluminium or ArtFrame, in a waiting room, bedroom, office, study or, of course, simply above the sofa!
