Sonia J. - "A Place to Breath" - XL

"A vertical breath of blue—lit with a quiet flame."

Description:

“A Place to Breathe” is a contemporary vertical abstract created for interiors that want presence without visual clutter. The composition is built around elongated turquoise and teal streams—layered, translucent, and pulled downward like rainfall or silk curtains—ending in a grounded, darker blue band. Near the lower left edge, warm amber/yellow accents emerge like a restrained flare, giving the work a controlled contrast and a focal point that keeps the piece from feeling purely monochrome. In a vertical 80 × 130 cm format, it performs especially well where architecture needs a vertical anchor: entry halls, stair landings, narrow walls, and modern living spaces that benefit from a clean, atmospheric statement.

Materiality & Surface:
->Acrylic on canvas
->Layered washes + drip/flow techniques creating depth and vertical rhythm
->Subtle surface variation (more dimensional in person than in photos)
->High color clarity: cool turquoise spectrum balanced by deep ultramarine base and a warm accent zone

Photography & Color Accuracy:

All photographs were taken in natural light, without filters or digital enhancement.
Colors can shift slightly depending on wall tone and lighting temperature—typical for layered acrylic surfaces and saturated blues.

Residential Placement Recommendations — Ideal for:
->Entryways and corridors (vertical format excels here)
->Staircases and landings
->Living rooms (as a tall statement beside a sofa or console)
->Offices, reception areas, and wellness environments seeking calm energy with a refined edge

Recommended Lighting:
->Warm or neutral light (3000K–4000K)
->Directional/angled lighting to emphasize the vertical movement and layering
->Avoid cold, flat frontal lighting (it reduces depth and makes the surface read “flat”)

Condition:
->Excellent condition
->Unframed
->Ready for professional hanging solution (or framing, depending on buyer preference)

Framing Recommendations:
->This piece benefits from a clean, architectural presentation:
->Thin to medium straight-edged frame (dark wood / black / muted bronze) to sharpen the silhouette and elevate perceived value
->A white mat can work if you want a more “gallery” feel and extra breathing space, but it’s optional—this composition also reads well close to the edge in a floater-style frame.

Best for: modern minimalist interiors, Scandinavian palettes, and design-led spaces where the artwork should feel intentional and finished.
