A character-driven abstract print where a red-topped circle presses against ivory, powder-pink rectangles drift across a sky-blue pane, and a single pencil arc cuts low through the field. Composition as pressure and release. A small slash of amber interrupts the soft pastel below, and the thin graphite lines read like the underdrawing of a sentence still being written. A warm brown smudge at the lower right anchors the paler fields above. The composition tilts forward and back in small degrees, never fully resolving on a single plane of attention. The most deliberate piece in the Ballouard series. The series paints in the lineage of Helen Frankenthaler — soft stained grounds interrupted by geometry, translucent rectangles overlapping without ever fully closing the image. Drip lines stay where they fell. The white of the canvas remains part of the composition, a quiet presence between the colour fields. Where other pieces in the series stay fully pastel, this one lets a saturated red step forward and tighten the whole surface around it. A fine art print sealed beneath crystal-clear acrylic, bonded to an aluminum composite backing. The translucent pastel layers gain a glassy depth through the glossy face, the pencil marks reading crisp against the stained ground. Six sizes, from Small 30×20 cm to Grand Edition 210×140 cm. Floating aluminum mount included — ready to hang on nails or nylon strings. Open edition from our Berlin-Mitte studio. Printed in Europe, shipped across the EU. A quiet anchor for afternoons that stretch long.
