Salie Roze Abstract Painting: A Common Thread Between Two Hearts by Surreal Media

A thin red thread winds its way down from the top of the work, across the surfaces, until it disappears from view at the bottom right. It connects a sharp, coral-red shape at the top with a large, soft blush-pink area in the centre. Surrounding this are angular shapes in sage green and champagne, leaning against one another, with a deep shadow on the left-hand side. The detail I personally find most beautiful is at the bottom: a thin line of pale gold running horizontally across the pink area, like a horizon where two people might one day meet.

I thought of love that cannot be held back by distance. The style is the colour thread: stylists advise using a single colour as a common thread running through a space and keeping the rest muted. Here, that colour has literally become a thread.

The atmosphere is tender and warm, with calm, diffused light and soft transitions. The message: two becoming one movement, even when they are not standing side by side.

It is a digital artwork, with the look of silky-smooth paint and edges that blend into one another.

In an interior, the artwork effortlessly picks up on a single colour: a red cushion, a pink throw, a sage-green wall. It fits beautifully in a bedroom, a dining room or a living room, and can serve as a reminder of a long-distance love or the thread that connects you to someone.

Or take a look at: "Gouden Nabijheid", about being close without words.
