Ember Mask - Mirrored Orange and Navy Abstract

A symmetrical abstract pattern of swirling orange, yellow and red shapes that mirror across the center and the top and bottom. A dark red diamond sits in the middle, with deep blue and green areas at the top, bottom and edges. The forms look fluid and glossy, a bit like molten glass or flames.

Someone wants this piece for the glow. Warm orange, yellow and red swirls look lit from within against a deep navy and green band, and the strict mirror symmetry gives the image a steady, ceremonial balance. A dark red diamond at the centre holds the eye while the flame-like curls move outward. Many warm abstracts are loose and chaotic. This one is ordered, and it reads as a mask, a flame or molten glass depending on who is looking.
