Flame Mask: Symmetrical Abstract in Cobalt Blue and Orange

A horizontal abstract in saturated blue, orange, red, green and yellow, built from swirling translucent shapes that mirror each other left to right. The overlapping curls and flame-like forms sit on a deep blue background. Pink highlights sit at the top and centre, and the symmetry suggests a face or mask.

Someone wants this piece for its heat and its symmetry. Red, orange and yellow flame shapes glow against a deep cobalt ground, and the strict left-right mirroring turns the swirls into something like a mask or a creature, without ever drawing one. Most colourful digital abstracts are loose and all-over. This one has a central axis, a crest at the top and a knot at the bottom, so it reads as a presence on the wall rather than a pattern. It suits a homeowner who wants one bold, saturated colour statement and likes finding a face in it for themselves.
