A Heart You Never See Drawn, Only Lit From Within
Ember Heart is a glowing red and purple abstract: a heart suggested by overlapping planes and floating in soft, translucent color.

Look at the center of the frame. Two rounded lobes at the top taper to a point at the bottom, and you read a heart. Nothing in the image is drawn as a heart, though. It is built from overlapping planes of deep violet and saturated red.
Around it, amber, blush pink, dusty blue, peach and cream melt into one another out of focus. The whole form seems to glow, as if light were passing through colored glass.

What the eye finds when it stays a while
From across a room, you see the color first. The red and purple are saturated and warm, and the blurred surroundings keep the image soft and calm. The heart arrives as an impression, and you may notice it a moment after the color.
Come closer and the details appear. Thin bright highlights trace the curving edges at the top and lower right. A few tiny bubble-like droplets sit near the top corners. Fine dark specks show in the upper purple.
The red and purple planes lean diagonally toward the pointed base, so your eye is carried down through the shape and held there. Pale, cooler areas at the left and lower right anchor all that warmth.
I listed Ember Heart as a macro photograph. I wanted the heart to stay an impression and never become a symbol, so that what you feel in front of it comes from the color and light.
What you'll see in Ember Heart
- A heart-like form made from two rounded lobes and a pointed base. It reads as a heart without becoming a literal symbol or a greeting card image.
- Deep red and violet purple at the center. They give the piece a strong, warm focal point.
- Amber, blush pink, dusty blue, peach and cream in soft, out-of-focus fields. They frame the form gently and let the colors melt together.
- A luminous, translucent look, with thin bright highlights along the curving edges. The heart seems to glow from within.
- Fine dark specks in the upper purple and tiny bubble-like highlights near the top. They reward a closer look after the first impression.
- Gentle sweeping curves across the top and lower right. They add quiet movement, so the image feels dreamlike and not static.
Where it belongs
Ember Heart is a horizontal piece with a centered red and violet form, which makes it a natural focal point above a bed, a sofa or a console. The soft, blurred surroundings keep it calm from across the room, and the saturated center gives a neutral room a clear point of warmth.
The mood is warmth, romance and tenderness, vivid and gently dreamlike. It suits a bedroom or living room where you want the color of a heart without the cliché.
- This is for you if you want a heart on your wall that feels like light and color rather than a symbol.
- This is for you if you love deep red and violet, softened by amber, pink and cream.
- This is for you if you want romantic abstract art for a bedroom or living room that stays modern and understated.
- This is for you if you are looking for an abstract heart as an anniversary gift, one that is felt more than stated.

Questions before you choose
Is it literally a picture of a heart?
No. The heart is an impression made by overlapping red and violet planes, with two rounded lobes at the top and a pointed base. Some people see it at once, and others find it after a moment.
Will the colors suit my room?
The center is deep red and violet, softened by amber, blush pink, dusty blue, peach and cream. Those paler surroundings keep it calm, and the saturated center adds warmth to a neutral room.
What if it isn't right once I see it in person?
Fine Art America offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can choose your size and finish on the listing and see the options before you order.
Picture it above your bed or sofa: a red and violet heart glowing softly in the middle of a calm wall. From across the room it is warm color. Up close it shows its edge highlights, its tiny droplets and its melting fields of light.
