Abstract Cream Painting: Three Circles Finding Peace Together by Surreal Media

Three round shapes lie close together, like bowls that are just touching one another. They are filled with thick, creamy strokes in cream and pearl white, and at the heart of each shape lies a small spark of colour: saffron yellow, soft orange and a hint of lilac. Thin, silvery lines run around the circles in wide arcs, as if someone had wound a thread around the group. At the bottom, you can see a shiny grey band supporting the shapes, and in the bottom left-hand corner, a tiny splash of dark red that you only notice when you get closer. I thought of being together: not being alike, but resting side by side. Interior designers often recommend the Japandi and wabi-sabi aesthetic, with earthy tones, rounded organic shapes and the idea that imperfection is beautiful. You can see this reflected in the rough edges and the brushstrokes that haven’t been smoothed out.

The atmosphere is soft, quiet and meditative, with a light, cool background and warm accents in the centre. For me, it’s about connection with oneself and with one another, and about letting go: allowing things to flow rather than holding on. It is a digital artwork, with the look of thick layers of paint applied with a palette knife, featuring a relief that catches the light.

In an interior, it can become a place of tranquillity. For those who meditate, practise yoga or have a practice space, it is an invitation to take a moment to breathe. It fits beautifully in a bedroom, a reading corner or a living room featuring natural materials such as wood, clay and linen.
