Description from the seller
SAMIA KERKENI — TIDAL HEART, 2024
Unique Original Acrylic Painting
Tidal Heart captures the instant when opposing forces collide and become one continuous movement.
Deep navy blue and luminous white sweep diagonally across the canvas, breaking into delicate cellular structures where the pigments meet. From the lower areas, copper-orange and golden tones rise against the cooler current like sunlight penetrating deep water.
The composition may evoke an aerial coastline, an ocean current or a powerful wave suspended at the moment of transformation. Nothing remains static: each passage appears to flow, expand and respond to the surrounding colours.
Created in 2024, Tidal Heart reflects Samia Kerkeni’s exploration of natural forces, movement and the emotional potential of matter. The work balances control and spontaneity. The direction of the composition is carefully guided, while the interaction between fluid pigments produces organic formations that cannot be recreated identically.
Technique and Surface
The artwork was created using Samia Kerkeni’s signature acrylic pouring technique.
Successive layers of fluid navy, white, copper and gold pigments were manipulated across the canvas through controlled movement and tilting. As the colours encountered one another, they separated, merged and developed intricate cellular patterns along their boundaries.
Rather than relying primarily on conventional brushwork, the artist worked with the natural behaviour of liquid pigment. Gravity, density and movement became active elements in the creative process.
The resulting surface combines flowing passages, fine cells, mineral accents and luminous contrasts. Depending on the light and viewing distance, the composition reveals different levels of depth and movement.
A protective varnish preserves the pigments and reinforces the visual intensity of the colours.

Artistic Meaning
The title Tidal Heart refers to the invisible rhythm connecting internal emotion with the movement of the natural world.
The deep blue current suggests the ocean’s weight, silence and depth. White introduces light, air and transformation, while the copper and gold passages bring warmth and vital energy into the composition.
The work exists between landscape and pure abstraction. It does not depict one specific place. Instead, it captures the sensation of a coastline seen from above, the force of a changing tide and the emotional intensity of a heart in motion.
The contrast between cool and warm tones gives the painting its visual tension. Blue recedes into depth, while copper and gold advance toward the viewer. Their encounter creates a dynamic balance in which calm and energy coexist.
About the Artist
Samia Kerkeni is a contemporary artist born in 1980. A doctor and researcher, she brings a spirit of experimentation and close observation to her artistic practice.
Her work investigates texture, fluid movement, light and the transformation of matter. Inspired by oceans, natural currents and changing mineral formations, she creates abstract compositions in which pigment becomes an emotional language.
Each artwork is developed through a deliberate process of layering and material interaction. Technical control is balanced with the freedom of fluid colour, allowing unexpected structures to emerge while preserving the artist’s compositional intention.
