Description
Linger in Warmth is a minimalist abstract painting composed of undulating, flame-like shapes in a vivid tangerine orange, set against a flat, soft pink background. The composition plays with negative space and gentle curvature, evoking a sense of slow, meditative motion, almost like heat waves rising or fabric caught in a breeze. The artist uses acrylic paint with, clean divisions of color, allowing the warmth of the orange to interact dynamically with the calming pink, creating both visual contrast and harmony.
