Ember Wing - Kaleidoscope Flame Abstract

A mirror-symmetrical oval of swirling red, orange and brown shapes surrounds a bright white, winged burst at its center. Golden curls and cream-colored tendrils spread outward like flames against a solid black background. The glossy, liquid-looking forms repeat evenly on all four sides.

A collector wants this piece for the way a fiery, flame-like form glows on a deep black ground. A white burst at the center fades into brown and then into red and orange curls, and the whole oval is held in perfect four-way symmetry. It reads as motion and heat but sits completely still. It is a warm, high-contrast focal point that is easy to picture on a wall, and the symmetry gives it a calm, deliberate structure. Visual attraction is reason enough to want it.
