Heartburst – Two White Hearts in a Marbled Color Splash

Two white heart outlines overlap at the center of a mirror-symmetrical burst of marbled color. Blue and purple swirls fill the middle, red and orange flow outward, and ragged paint splatters scatter around the edges on an off-white background.

Two crisp white heart outlines sit perfectly still in the middle of a mirrored burst of red, orange, blue and purple. The color is glossy and marbled, flinging droplets outward like wet ink. Most colorful abstracts are all motion with no place to rest the eye. Most heart art is small, sweet or sentimental. This piece is neither. It has an obvious focal point and a lot of saturated energy around it, all on a clean pale ground. Someone who wants a bold, bright, graphic piece with a heart in it, without the greeting-card feel, has a reason to choose it over similar images.
