Purple Abstract Painting: An Arch Radiating Towards the Light by Surreal Media

At the centre of this work is a small, dark-red dot, surrounded by a white ring, as if something had just struck it and was now rippling outwards. From that point, circles of small square smudges radiate outwards: cream-white, light turquoise, mustard yellow and ochre-copper, and on the very outer edge, a broad arc of violet. At the bottom, the circle seems to disintegrate, with blocks of colour swirling downwards like a staircase, whilst a warm beam of light streams in from the right.

I thought about how a single small moment can set everything around it in motion. An idea, an encounter, a decision. For me, that centre point is that moment. The atmosphere strikes a beautiful balance between cool and warm: blue-grey on one side, gold and rust on the other. It feels both energetic and concentrated, like a focus that is expanding.

It is a digital artwork with the appearance of thickly applied paint using a palette knife, featuring heavy ridges that cast shadows in the raking light, almost like a mosaic of tiny tiles.

In an interior, this arch immediately catches the eye without being overbearing. It suits people with a vision, who love structure and rhythm, or those who like to give their study or living room a powerful focal point. Or take a look at: "Paarse Abstract Schilderij: Cirkel van Verborgen Vuur", a warm counterpart to this piece!
