Description
Abstraction 9 – where hot meets cold
One canvas, two worlds: the left half burns in layers of red, orange and scarlet, the right cools into deep navy blue. Left of centre a white-yellow explosion of horizontal fragments erupts – the brightest event of the painting – and beneath it hide pockets of dark bordeaux.
Technique & Texture
The whole is a mosaic of knife strokes: small facets that break like ice and embers. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the border between warm and cold is not a straight line but an interwoven front where the facets bite into one another.
The Motif
At the upper right, teal-mint crystal rectangles shine like a glacier, while at the lower right a violet transitional zone calms both halves, with scattered red sparks biting into it. At the centre, orange spills over blue and teal fragments drift off to the left – an exchange, not a battle.
Styling & Placement
Dynamic wall art for living rooms, offices and meeting rooms; the warm-cool contrast enlivens neutral interiors and carries both warm and cold furnishings.

Abstraction 9: landscape sizes and delivery
Abstraction 9 is painted in 18 landscape sizes, from 60 x 40 to 300 x 175 cm. Let the red and navy contrast cover roughly two thirds of the furniture width: 130 x 77 or 140 x 83 cm above a 200 cm sofa, 110 x 65 cm over a 160 cm bed, and 200 x 120 cm above a 300 cm meeting-room table. A long hallway with neutral walls suits Abstraction 9 at 180 x 105 cm.
Once you select YES in the Stretcher menu, the Abstraction 9 canvas with its mosaic of knife strokes arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Abstraction 9 is an extra choice in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The painting is hand-painted, so the white-yellow explosion and the mint crystals are facets of paint, not a print. In the photograph the fiery yellow-red canvas stands unframed against a shelf in the studio.
Who is the Abstraction 9 painting for?
Abstraction 9 is for a room that needs energy: a living room, an office or a meeting room with neutral walls. The left half burns in red, orange and scarlet, the right cools into deep navy, and left of centre a white-yellow burst of fragments erupts. Because warm and cool interlock, Abstraction 9 goes with warm wood and with cool grey or white furniture at once. In the photograph the painting stands unframed against a shelf, which shows its true glow.
How is the Abstraction 9 painting made?
Abstraction 9 is hand-painted by our painters with a palette knife, as a mosaic of small facets of paint. The warm and cool halves come first, then the facets bite into one another along the border, and last the white-yellow burst, the mint crystals at the upper right and the red sparks go on. Because every facet is set by hand, every Abstraction 9 painting comes out a little different. We send you a photograph of the finished Abstraction 9 to approve, then ship it.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Abstraction 9 the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Abstraction 9 is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Stretched, it arrives ready to hang; rolled helps with the large sizes up to 300 x 175 cm or when a framer near you will frame it. A thin black or dark blue frame brings out the cool half.
How should I hang and care for it?
Keep the centre of Abstraction 9 at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; above a sofa or meeting table, allow 20 to 30 cm down to the bottom edge. Abstraction 9 comes alive on a calm, light wall where nothing competes with its contrast. Dust the facets with a soft dry brush, without water or cleaners.
Is Abstraction 9 a good gift?
Abstraction 9 is a gift for a new office, a business space or someone who loves vivid colour; 60 x 40 cm also fits a smaller wall. If you are not sure which size of Abstraction 9 is right, give a gift voucher.
