Description
Golden Storm – black, gold and pearl grey in a panoramic format
Golden Storm is an abstract painting in a 3:1 format: a dark, almost black mass rises from the lower left towards the centre like a wave or a storm cloud, threaded with raised gold veins. Above it opens a pearl-grey mist covered in fine cracks, and on the right a deep blue shadow breaks into silvery threads. The painting is hand-painted on canvas and comes in 16 landscape sizes from 60 x 20 to 340 x 110 cm; the painting in the photographs measures 240 x 80 cm.
What does the painting show?
The subject is not an object but movement: the light and the dark half meet along a diagonal running from left to right, and the gold follows the edge where darkness breaks into light. Some see a storm over the sea, others a mountain ridge in fog or cracked earth dusted with gold. That openness is why the painting does not wear thin on a wall you look at every day.
Technique and texture
The gold strokes are laid on in thick, raised lines that stand above the dark ground and cast tiny shadows in side light. The light areas are covered by a network of fine cracks that recalls old varnish or dried clay. The fourth photograph shows up close how the gold lines sit in relief above the deep blue and black layers, so this is not a print but a hand-painted canvas painting.
What do the photographs show?
The first photograph shows the whole 240 x 80 cm painting in a dark wooden frame, leaning against a white wall above a wooden floor, so you can follow the full sweep from the black mass on the left to the light mist above it. The second and third photographs show the painting from the side, where the depth of the gold relief and the dark wooden frame are visible. Each painting is painted to order, so the run of the gold lines and cracks varies slightly, while the colours, the composition and the raised gold stay the same. Before dispatch you receive a photo of your own painting for approval.
Where does Golden Storm fit?
The panoramic format belongs above long furniture: above a sofa about 220 cm wide choose 150 x 50 or 160 x 52 cm, and above a corner sofa or along a long dining-room wall 240 x 80 cm, the size in the photographs. Above a 160–180 cm double bed, 120 x 40 and 130 x 43 cm work well, and in a narrow hallway 90 x 30 cm. Black, gold and grey go with white walls, dark wood, concrete and gold or brass accents.

Golden Storm: sizes, stretcher, frame and delivery
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and Golden Storm arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang; with NO it arrives rolled.

The painting is painted to order and delivery takes 15–45 days.
Golden Storm: what buyers ask
Which size of Golden Storm goes above a sofa?
Above a sofa about 220 cm wide choose 150 x 50 or 160 x 52 cm, so the painting covers roughly two thirds of the sofa’s width.
Will my painting look like the one in the photographs?
The composition, the colours and the raised gold lines will be the same; the exact run of single lines and cracks differs a little, because every painting is painted by hand. You get a photo for approval before dispatch.
Is the frame from the photographs included in the price?
No, the price is for the painting without a frame, with or without a stretcher; a frame can be arranged on request.
Is Golden Storm a print?
No, the gold lines are applied by hand in a relief you can feel with your fingers, so the painting is not a print.
