Harmony of the spheres by Emanuel Cuisinier

The abstract artwork features a complex, geometric composition dominated by a palette of deep, saturated colours and curved shapes.

The background is a swirling canvas of mixed colours - a symphony of purples, blues and accents of yellow and green that come together to form a central focal point.

In the centre of this vibrant background is a black and white checkerboard plane that resembles a chessboard. On this patterned plane rests a collection of spheres in various sizes and overlapping positions, depicted in a spectrum of pastel to bright colours such as pink, blue, yellow and green. These spheres appear translucent and have reflections, giving them a sense of depth.

Surrounding these spheres are dynamic brushstrokes and splashes of colour in shades of purple, creating an illusion of movement and energy around the central elements. This effect reinforces the feeling that the piece is alive and full of movement, even though the spheres themselves are static.

The entire scene is surrounded by mirrored shapes at the top and bottom edges of the image, creating an expansive feel and mirroring the central shapes. The symmetry also extends the vibrancy of the colours and enhances the dreamlike quality of the composition.

Overall, the painting combines elements of geometry (the chequered pattern) with organic form (the spheres), all against a backdrop of abstract expressionism.

The mood is enigmatic, mystical, created by the combination of geometric and organic forms.
