About This Artwork

On the Verge  is an original abstract painting built from deep blue, violet and near-black, illuminated by intense flashes of red and orange.

Broad, layered brushstrokes create a composition that seems to shift between depth and surface. Dark passages partially conceal brighter areas beneath them, while the glowing warm colour at the centre draws the eye into the painting.

The title  On the Verge  captures that sense of tension: something is there, just beneath the surface, on the verge of appearing or changing.

Original artwork, one of a kind.

Choosing the Right Size

Not sure which size will work best in your space? As a general rule, larger art creates more impact, while smaller sizes work beautifully in more intimate spaces or as part of a gallery wall.
