Can You See the Eye in Twelve Glowing Rays?
Solar Ember is an abstract digital sun emblem: twelve curling rays of marbled orange, yellow and blue, glowing around a black-ringed oval on a near-black field.
Choose your size, paper, canvas, metal or frame. Printed, shipped and guaranteed by Fine Art America.
Start with the dark. The ground is a near-black navy, deep enough that everything on it seems to give off light. At the center sits a black-outlined oval, and twelve curling, pointed rays spin out from it like a wheel.
Those rays are filled with marbled orange, golden yellow and cobalt blue, with coral, rose pink and a few touches of magenta. The edges glow softly, so the warm color looks lit from the inside. I called it Solar Ember.

What the eye finds, one look at a time
The first thing you take in is the silhouette: a bold, graphic sun-like shape that fills most of the vertical frame. Then the rays pull your eye outward. Each one bends in an S-curve, and together they give the feeling of a wheel turning or a light pulsing.
Move closer and the rays are not flat. Their surfaces are smooth and digital, filled with swirling, liquid-looking marbling in blue, red and orange. You won't find brushstrokes here. The color flows instead, like ink moving through water.
Then look at the central oval. A horizontal blue band crosses its middle, and the design is mirrored top to bottom. The pattern inside can read as an eye or a face. It can just as easily read as the heart of a sun or a mandala. That is up to you, and the piece works as pure color, contrast and symmetry either way.
What you will see in this piece
- Twelve curling, tapering rays in a mirrored, wheel-like arrangement. They give the wall a strong, balanced focal point that holds from across the room.
- Warm orange and golden yellow against a near-black navy ground. The contrast makes the color look lit from within.
- Soft, luminous edges around every shape. The rays look like they are giving off light.
- Smooth, marbled, liquid-like color with no visible brushwork. Up close, there is a fluid surface of blue, red and orange to follow.
- A steady horizontal blue band through the center. It calms the spinning rays and anchors the design.
- A thin royal-blue border around the dark field. It frames the emblem and keeps all that glow contained.
Where Solar Ember belongs
This is a vertical, centered, symmetrical emblem on a very dark ground, so it works best as the one strong statement on a wall. It suits places where a single warm, bold piece is wanted: above a console, in an entry, or in a dark or neutral room, where the orange and yellow stand out most.
The mood is energetic, warm and bold. There is no quiet subtlety here. The piece is meant to be seen, and wanting it because it looks great is reason enough.
- This is for you if you want one warm, glowing focal piece rather than a gallery of small ones.
- This is for you if you love orange, yellow and cobalt blue set against black.
- This is for you if you like radial, symmetrical designs such as sun emblems and mandalas, but want marbled color instead of flat geometry.
- This is for you if you enjoy a piece that rewards a closer look, like the eye-like pattern in the center.

Questions before you choose
