AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Samia Kerkeni presents Glacial Melt (ca. 2023), a unique work in fluid acrylic on canvas, where the movement of the material becomes the subject of the composition itself.

Glacial Melt captures the precise moment when ice yields to water: deep currents of teal and turquoise fissure through dark, angular black cracks, before dissolving into a vast field of luminous white. The fluid acrylic pouring technique lets the material itself draw its own path, between control of the gesture and surrender to mastered randomness — a canvas intentionally left bare in places, which intensifies this sense of melting and transformation.

Dimensions: 70 × 50 × 3 cm (height × width × depth)
Support/technique: Fluid acrylic on canvas
Signature: Hand-signed by the artist, on the recto and verso
Edition: Unique piece
Provenance: Directly from Abstract Art Gallery, Riga.
Documentation: Certificate of authenticity included; lifetime gallery guarantee (maintenance, restoration, layout advice)
Condition: New, never exhibited — studio-pristine condition
Delivery: The work is shipped mounted on a hardwood frame, ready to hang.

Inspire me — discover how this work can transform your interior.
The best from the studio — this piece joins our selection of works freshly released from the artist’s studio, with no intermediary.
Solo Shows — explore the full body of Samia Kerkeni’s work and her complete artistic universe at Abstract Art Gallery.
Current trends — fluid acrylic compositions, blending abstraction and contemporary impressionism, rank among the most sought-after techniques of the moment.
