Description
Dark Cross – white slots in a dark mass
The dark brother of Broken Lines: a chocolate-umber field covers about three quarters of the canvas, and the white is cut into it – vertical white panels clustered upper left, diagonal slots upper right, triangles at the centre, a long thin diagonal pair across the lower third, and small wedges at the left middle.
Technique & Texture
The dark mass is not uniform: it is built of a broad vertical trunk across the centre, crossed on the lower half by two horizontal bands – and precisely in that crossing stands the dark cross of the title, implicit yet impossible to miss. This is a hand-painted canvas – the darkness is glossy-mottled, like wet rock.
The Motif
The white openings are angular and sharp: every slot is a deliberate cut, not a remnant. Calligraphy in the moment when dark has defeated light – but left it enough windows for the story to stay taut.
Styling & Placement
A bold decorative painting for offices, modern living rooms and lofts; the dark mass needs a light wall, and against it works like a seal – wall art with graphic weight.

Dark Cross: an upright canvas for light walls
Dark Cross is offered in 16 portrait sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. Its chocolate-umber mass with white slots wants a light wall: in a narrow hallway or beside an office door 60 x 95 cm is enough, while next to a 130 cm console, 90 x 143 cm covers about two thirds of that width. In a loft, a lobby or a stairwell with a high ceiling, the white cuts get room to breathe at 120 x 191 or 140 x 223 cm.
In the photograph, Dark Cross hangs in a white frame on a beige stone-tiled lobby wall. To hang it at once, choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the dark canvas arrives on a wooden stretcher. Dark Cross has no frame unless you pick one in the Frame menu. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Dark Cross is hand-painted, its glossy mottled dark and sharp white slots laid down by hand, so this painting is not a print.
