THE ARTWORK
In White Floating Over Blue, Samia Kerkeni creates a delicate balance between weight and suspension.
Earth-toned formations appear to float across a luminous field of white and blue, evoking fragments of land, mineral surfaces or distant forms carried through an open sky.
The fluid movement of the acrylic paint produces organic transitions and naturally evolving contours. Textured passages preserve the physical memory of the artist’s gesture, while the composition maintains a remarkable sense of openness and balance.
Soft white areas introduce silence, light and breathing space. Vivid blue brings clarity, depth and expansiveness, while brown, ochre and muted golden accents ground the composition in the physical world.
The relationship between these colours creates a visual dialogue between sky and earth, lightness and matter, freedom and stability.
Despite its intimate dimensions, the artwork possesses a strong visual presence. Its compact vertical format intensifies the relationship between every detail and invites close, contemplative observation.
From a distance, the composition appears calm and unified. Viewed more closely, it reveals fluid outlines, subtle tonal variations, layered pigments and delicate textural movements.
Created entirely by hand in 2019, White Floating Over Blue reflects Samia Kerkeni’s continuing exploration of movement, texture, light and colour.
This is a unique original artwork. It is not a print, edition or reproduction.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in 1980, Samia Kerkeni is a contemporary artist whose practice explores matter, colour, texture and movement.
A doctor and researcher in her professional field, she brings a spirit of continuous investigation to her artistic practice. Technical precision, observation and experimentation become inseparable from intuition and emotion.
Inspired by natural forces—oceans, invisible currents, geological surfaces and the transformation of matter—Samia creates abstract compositions in which energy appears to circulate freely.
Her visual language is characterised by deep blues, luminous turquoise tones, brilliant whites and mineral accents. Each artwork develops through a slow and controlled process, layer by layer and gesture by gesture.
For Samia Kerkeni, matter is never static. It preserves the memory of the gesture, the light and the emotion that brought the artwork into being.
Her work explores contemporary abstraction, textural art and mixed-media experimentation, with recurring themes of energy, movement, light, transformation and harmony.
Samia Kerkeni is represented internationally by Abstract Art Gallery, Riga.
