Description
Colour Explosion – A Vortex Bursting at the Centre
This abstract painting is pure expression of energy: on a light blue background threaded with diagonal strokes, a colourful vortex of red, yellow, green, and orange bursts open at the heart of the canvas – an explosion of colours in which every stroke carries its own note of spontaneity.
Technique & Texture
The core of the burst is loaded on with a palette knife in thick impasto – a yellow patch, an orange-red block, dark magenta, white clumps of paint – while outward the shockwave is carried by spatter and runs that glide toward the lower edge. A hand-painted artistic painting whose relief-like liveliness can be felt with the eyes alone.
The Motif
Everything radiates outward from the central collision of colours, while the edges of the canvas stay bright and airy – which makes the explosion feel even stronger. The painting is a celebration of spontaneity: nothing is planned, yet everything lands.
Styling & Placement
It brings colourful life energy into any space – living rooms, teenagers’ rooms, creative spaces. Against a calm, bright wall it will act like a window into pure joy.

How do I choose a size for Colour Explosion?
Colour Explosion is painted in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Above a 160 cm bed in a teenager’s room, the red and yellow vortex at 110 x 110 cm fills roughly two thirds of the width, a 220 cm sofa takes 140 x 140 cm, and a 120 cm desk 80 x 80 cm. A narrow hallway or a creative corner has room for the light blue canvas at 70 x 70 cm.
With YES chosen in the Stretcher menu, Colour Explosion arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. For Colour Explosion a frame is only an option, and the Frame menu opens at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The painting is hand-painted with a palette knife, so the impasto at the heart of the burst can be felt and is not a print.
Is Colour Explosion the right colourful abstract painting for a living room or teenager’s room?
Yes, Colour Explosion is a lively square abstract painting: on a light blue ground threaded with diagonal strokes, a vortex of red, yellow, green and orange bursts open at the centre, while the edges of the canvas stay bright and airy. Colour Explosion brings cheerful energy into a room, so it belongs in a living room, a teenager’s room, a creative corner or an office with calm walls.
How is Colour Explosion painted by hand?
Colour Explosion is hand-painted by our painters with a palette knife: the core of the burst goes on in thick impasto, with a yellow patch, an orange-red block, dark magenta and white clumps of paint, while the shockwave outward is carried by spatter and runs that glide toward the lower edge. When Colour Explosion is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, then ship it.
How does Colour Explosion arrive: rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Colour Explosion the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Colour Explosion is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Colour Explosion arrives ready to hang when stretched, and a rolled Colour Explosion suits the squares up to 180 x 180 cm. A thin white frame keeps the edges bright, and without a frame the painting looks more relaxed.
How should I hang and care for Colour Explosion?
Keep the centre of the burst in Colour Explosion at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor. On a calm, bright wall Colour Explosion works like a window onto pure joy. Clean the thick impasto at the centre with a soft dry brush, without water.
Is Colour Explosion a good gift?
Colour Explosion is a cheerful gift for a teenager, a student, a creative person or a new office; 40 x 40 and 70 x 70 cm also fit a narrow hallway. If you are not sure which size of Colour Explosion is right, give a gift voucher.
Colour Explosion: common questions
Which size of Colour Explosion goes above a bed?
Over a 160 cm bed we suggest 110 x 110 cm, and over a 180 cm bed 120 x 120 cm, so the burst of colour does not overpower the headboard.
Is a frame included with Colour Explosion?
The frame is optional, and the Frame menu is set to Without frame, so the light blue edges of the canvas stay bare unless you pick one.
Can I get Colour Explosion in a size that is not listed?
If none of the 14 square sizes fits, write to us about a painting made to order with the red, yellow and green vortex.
