AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Samia Kerkeni — Gilded Wave, 2023
Original Unique Artwork — Fluid Acrylic and Pigments on Canvas — 70 × 50 × 3 cm
Gilded Wave by Samia Kerkeni captures the precise moment when light meets water. Waves of cream, ivory and pale gold surge across the canvas like sunlit foam, while deep sapphire currents flow beneath the surface, creating a composition filled with movement, depth and luminous tension.
Through her fluid-pouring technique, Kerkeni guides the natural movement of the pigments while preserving their spontaneous energy. Colours merge, separate and flow across the surface, producing intricate marbled lines, organic cells and mineral-like formations. Because this process depends on the unique interaction between movement, gravity and pigment, the composition cannot be reproduced.
Viewed from a distance, the work evokes the power and openness of an ocean landscape. Seen up close, it reveals delicate transitions, flowing contours and richly layered details reminiscent of waves, coastlines and geological formations observed from above.
The contrast between the luminous ivory areas, metallic-looking golden passages and intense sapphire blue gives the painting a refined visual balance. Its vertical format naturally draws the eye through the composition and makes it an elegant focal point for a contemporary residence, office, hotel or private collection.
Both dynamic and calming, Gilded Wave offers a constantly evolving visual experience. Its appearance changes subtly according to the surrounding light and the viewer’s position.

Artistic Technique
The painting was created using a fluid acrylic-pouring process. Rather than applying every line with a conventional brush, the artist allows carefully selected pigments to travel across the canvas, interact and form their own organic structures.
This method combines artistic control with the natural behaviour of the materials. The final result depends on the density of the paint, the direction of movement and the way the colours encounter one another. Every wave, cell and marbled transition is therefore unique.
The materials were selected for their colour intensity, stability and visual depth. The work was created directly in the artist’s studio using professional art materials sourced from the Netherlands, Switzerland and France.
Provenance
The artwork comes directly from Samia Kerkeni’s studio and is presented by Abstract Art Gallery in Riga.
Its direct and documented provenance ensures complete traceability between the artist, the gallery and the future collector. The painting has never previously belonged to a private collection.
