Description from the seller
Samia Kerkeni — Where Ocean Remembers Gold, 2022
Original acrylic pouring with metallic pigments on canvas · Mineral Energy Series · 51 × 41 × 1 cm · Unique work
The artwork
A fine seam of gold runs through deep blue, disappears beneath a pale wash and surfaces again among vivid green. In Where Ocean Remembers Gold, Samia Kerkeni follows the movement of liquid colour across a vertical canvas. Luminous white opens into delicate cellular patterns, while pale blue and smoky grey soften the edges between the currents.
From a distance, the composition has the sweep of water seen from above. Up close, the movement breaks into smaller events: a white cell edged in blue, a translucent passage, a thread of gold caught between darker colours. The metallic pigments catch the light as the viewing angle changes. A detail that was almost invisible a moment earlier suddenly comes into focus.
That shifting visibility gives the title its resonance. The gold appears in fragments, like traces the ocean has kept and briefly brought back to the surface. On the reverse, a handwritten inscription reads:
“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.”
About the artist
Samia Kerkeni (b. 1980) is a contemporary artist, doctor and researcher whose painting practice centres on the movement of pigments and their interaction with light. In her Mineral Energy Series, fluid acrylic passages and metallic accents evoke ocean currents and mineral formations. She uses pouring to guide the larger movements of colour while allowing the finer cellular patterns to develop as the paint flows.

Abstract Art Gallery (SIA Positive International Art) is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2010, based in Riga, Latvia, specialising in contemporary abstraction, sculptural minimalism, and in-depth research on materials, textures, and depth.
The gallery represents a curated roster of contemporary artists, each bringing a distinct technique and artistic language — from acrylic pouring and sculptural relief to mixed media on canvas and 3D acrylic-resin work. 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.
Custom commissions are available upon request across the gallery's roster of artists. Any format, dimension, or colour palette that can be conceived and realised can be created, tailored precisely to your space and vision.
Standard formats include 50 × 50 cm, 50 × 70 cm, 61 × 91 cm, 120 × 120 cm, 123 × 53 cm, as well as larger formats depending on the work. Depths generally range from 0.2 cm (canvas works) to 5–7 cm, and can reach up to 12 cm for certain sculptural pieces, offering a strong interaction between form, light, and space.
Frames and presentation options include US Box white, US Box black, slim aluminium frame, protective transport tube for unframed canvases, and other premium finishing options available on request.
Materials and Quality
Works are created using high-end materials selected across Europe, with particular attention given to quality, stability, and longevity. Depending on the artist and the piece, the gallery uses premium wood supports, professional-grade canvas, fine acrylic pigments, natural fibers, resin, and finishes selected for their long-term resistance. Each work is presented with careful attention to detail, finish, and presentation.
Expertise and Artistic Vision
Abstract Art Gallery stands apart through a curatorial approach that combines artistic sensitivity with material research — continuous exploration of texture, pigment, matter, and light across its artists' practices. Works are designed to integrate into modern interiors, architectural spaces, executive offices, hotels, galleries, and private collections, while maintaining a strong artistic identity.
For Collectors
Works offered by the gallery are conceived as genuine artistic investments, with high durability, museum-level quality, and an aesthetic designed to transcend time. Shipping is free worldwide, carefully protected and insured, and every work benefits from a lifetime guarantee on colour fastness and material quality under normal exhibition conditions.
Custom commissions are welcome. Whether you have a specific size, a particular colour palette, or a precise vision for your space, our artists can create a work tailored exactly to what you have in mind. Contact us via Catawiki messaging to discuss your project.
