Amber Lantern, Mirrored Abstract in Orange, Blue and Purple

A symmetrical abstract in saturated color, with a glowing orange center shaped like an oval medallion. Dark purple and pink bands frame the center at top and bottom, and mirrored panels of swirling blue, green and yellow fill the left and right edges. The surfaces look like translucent, liquid layers curling into small spirals.

A collector wants this because it stops you with warmth. A glowing orange-and-amber oval sits dead centre like a lit lantern, framed by deep purple and pink bands, with cool blue-green swirls mirrored on either side. The strict symmetry makes it calm to look at, and the saturated, backlit colour keeps it from feeling plain. Ten other colourful abstracts will have swirls or symmetry. Few put a single warm focal form against two cool, matching sides.
