AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
*Blue Awakening* is a unique abstract painting created in 2024 by contemporary artist Samia Kerkeni as part of her *Botanical Abstraction* series.
From a single point of convergence, sweeping ribbons of teal, petrol blue and luminous white unfold across a deep midnight-blue field. Their feather-like movement recalls the opening of an exotic flower, the plumage of a bird in motion or an underwater form carried by an invisible current.
At the heart of the composition, a concentrated accent of coral, orange and white introduces warmth into the dominant blue palette. This small luminous centre acts as the painting’s source of energy: a visual spark from which the surrounding forms appear to emerge, expand and awaken.
Kerkeni combines fluid acrylic pouring with directional brushwork. The composition was developed through successive layers of professional acrylic colour and artistic pigments. While the paint remained workable, the artist guided the fluid material outward from its central point, creating long, rhythmic movements and softly merging transitions.
The result balances technical control with the unpredictable behaviour of fluid pigment. Every curve records a physical gesture, while the interaction between the colours produces details that cannot be repeated identically.
The painting explores awakening as a moment of transformation: the instant when an undefined form acquires movement, presence and consciousness. Cool blue tones communicate depth, silence and contemplation, while the coral centre suggests life, warmth and renewal.
Its appearance changes subtly according to surrounding light and viewing distance. The petrol-blue passages gain depth, the white areas become more luminous, and the warm centre appears to radiate outward through the composition.
Samia Kerkeni develops a contemporary artistic practice centred on matter, colour, movement and transformation. Inspired by natural forces, oceans, invisible currents and organic growth, she creates abstract works in which texture and gesture become an emotional language.
*Blue Awakening* is an entirely handmade, unique original artwork, 1/1. It has never been reproduced as a limited edition.
The artwork is hand-signed “S. Kerkeni” on the front. The reverse includes the full identification of the work and an original handwritten poem by the artist, giving the painting an additional personal and documentary dimension.
The canvas is supplied unframed and unstretched, allowing the future collector to select a presentation adapted to their interior. Professional mounting on a wooden stretcher or rigid archival panel is recommended.
The collector may choose between two secure delivery methods:
1. Rolled carefully around a protective core and shipped inside a reinforced telescopic tube.
2. Shipped completely flat between rigid reinforced XPS protective panels.
The preferred delivery method may be confirmed through the platform’s messaging service. In both cases, the painted surface will be protected with non-abrasive material, and the parcel will be professionally tracked and insured during transportation.
The artwork is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity issued by Abstract Art Gallery and protected by the gallery’s lifetime authenticity guarantee.
A refined and highly expressive contemporary work for collectors of fluid abstraction, botanical forms and paintings shaped by colour, movement and light.

Every artist is selected for their commitment to material research, craftsmanship, and long-term artistic integrity.
Types of works available
The gallery offers exclusively original contemporary artworks, carefully selected, including abstract minimalist works, textured and sculptural compositions, relief and 3D pieces, and large-scale wall pieces with strong architectural presence.
