Sonia J. - "Intersection Streets"

A contemporary abstract painting inspired by urban intersections and layered city structures, created for modern residential interiors.

Description :
"Intersecting Streets" explores the visual complexity of the urban grid through layered vertical forms, crossing lines, and saturated color fields. The composition evokes streets, facades, and overlapping city pathways, suggesting movement, density, and structural rhythm. Warm yellows, reds, and earthy tones interact with cooler blues and turquoises, creating contrast and depth while maintaining a clear architectural order. Hand-drawn linear elements trace routes and intersections across the surface, reinforcing the sense of circulation and urban flow. The painting balances expressive mark-making with structural clarity. It delivers visual energy without becoming chaotic, making it suitable for contemporary residential spaces that seek character, color, and architectural reference.

Technique & Surface:
->Acrylic on canvas
->Layered brushwork with visible texture
->Linear drawing integrated into painted architecture
->Matte to satin surface finish
->The acrylic medium supports strong color definition and crisp edges, enhancing the urban character of the work.

Interior Fit. Well suited for:
->Urban apartments
->Contemporary living rooms
->Entry halls and corridors
->Modern offices or creative studios
->The 50 × 80 cm vertical format works particularly well on narrow walls or architectural transitions, where vertical emphasis enhances spatial perception.

Framing Recommendation:
->Can be displayed unframed for a raw, contemporary look.
->For a more refined presentation:
->Frame color: matte black or charcoal
->Profile: 1.5–2 cm
->Clean, straight edge
->Framing strengthens the architectural reading and improves integration into interior-designed spaces.

Condition:
->Excellent condition
->Unframed/ Unstretched
-> 3cm extra for porper stretch

Framing Recommendation ( additional):
->The artwork is recommended to be framed as shown in the reference image, using a dark wood frame combined with a neutral off-white mat. This framing choice creates a clear visual boundary that enhances the architectural structure of the composition and gives the painting a refined, finished presence.

->The darker frame adds contrast and weight, allowing the vibrant colors—blues, yellows, reds, and blacks—to stand out against light walls, while the mat provides necessary breathing space so the artwork does not visually overpower the room. In the setting shown, this framing approach harmonizes with wooden furniture and flooring, reinforcing a cohesive, calm interior atmosphere.

->This is only a recommendation, not a requirement. The painting can be displayed unframed for a more contemporary or raw look. However, the framed presentation shown here is advised for buyers seeking a balanced, interior-ready result that integrates seamlessly into residential or professional spaces while elevating the artwork’s overall presence.


Photography & Color Accuracy:
All photographs were taken in natural light, without filters or digital enhancement.
Colors may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and placement, which is characteristic of original oil paintings.


Recommended Lighting:
->Warm or neutral lighting (3000K–4000K)
->Directional or track lighting common in urban interiors
->Avoid cold, flat frontal lighting
