Ember Hearts, Symmetrical Orange Abstract

Four symmetrical, heart-shaped forms in marbled orange and yellow sit at the center of swirling black and white curved bands. The quadrants mirror each other around a narrow orange cross, all set against a black background with orange-flecked corners. The contrast is bold and graphic, and the orange areas have a flowing, liquid-like pattern.

Someone wants this piece for its nerve. Four mirrored heart-like shapes glow like molten orange against crisp black and white bands. It is graphic and symmetrical, with a liquid, marbled warmth inside the hearts. Many bold abstracts are either cold geometry or loose color. This one is both: hard-edged order outside and flowing fire inside. The hearts are also a surprise. A viewer sees a pattern first, then notices the shapes.
