Abstract oil painting, oil pastel, and pencil on supported panel
2026
 
Blind Love XVII (16" x 20") is an original abstract oil painting on supported panel that explores layered color, gesture, and texture through a nature-inspired lens. Built with oil paint, oil pastel, and pencil, the composition balances saturated blues and deep greens with a central field of warm red and soft white, creating a sense of movement and visual tension.
 
Expressive brushwork, visible drips, and thick impasto surfaces define the piece, with vertical marks suggesting organic growth or floral forms without becoming literal. The interplay of translucent washes and dense pigment creates depth, while gestural strokes guide the eye across shifting color fields. This approach aligns with contemporary abstract expressionism, where emotion and atmosphere take precedence over representation.
 
At 16" x 20", this small-scale abstract painting is well suited for layered gallery walls, intimate interior spaces, or as a standalone accent in modern, transitional, or design-forward environments. The panel surface provides a firm foundation for the mixed media application, enhancing durability and texture clarity.
 
Ideal for collectors, interior designers, and art consultants seeking original contemporary artwork, Blind Love XVII offers a refined balance of color saturation, material richness, and spatial versatility.
