Silent Passageway . . .

Silent Passageway . . . https://www.instagram.com/zdesignworks/

The artwork is predominantly made up of muted earth tones, including various shades of brown, orange, and a touch of light blue/gray at the top. 

Brushstrokes are visible throughout, creating a textured effect that gives the piece a sense of depth and movement.  A dark, central void or tunnel-like area dominates the composition, drawing the viewer's eye inward. The colors blend seamlessly into each other, leading to a sense of transition and mystery.

The image depicts a cave featuring a hole, which could suggest an opening to the outside or another space within. The overall composition may be interpreted in an abstract manner, potentially highlighting the interplay of light and shadows in this natural formation. https://linktr.ee/zdesignworks

Two ways to describe color . . . RGB to RAL

RGB and RAL are two ways to describe colors, but they work differently. RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, which are the three colors of light that mix to create other colors on screens, like our phones or computers. 

For example, if you mix red and green in different amounts, you can get colors like yellow or brown. On the other hand, RAL is a color matching system used mainly in paint and coatings. It has a set of standard colors that people can refer to when they want a specific color, like for painting walls or machinery. 

Each RAL color has a unique number, making it easy to choose the right shade without confusion. While RGB is mostly used for digital screens, RAL is great for finding colors in the physical world. Understanding both systems helps people choose the right colors for their projects, whether on a computer or in real life.

Wine-Stained Dreams . . .

Wine-Stained Dreams . . .  https://www.instagram.com/zdesignworks/
The deep painting of rich shades of burgundy features a blend of shades of red, varying from light pinkish-red to dark maroon and burgundy. These colors transition seamlessly, creating a soft, diffused effect. 
Darker shades of bluish-gray and deep black are present, mainly concentrated at the upper-right and central-right portions of the image. 
The texture of the painting appears to be a blend of brushstrokes and smudges, giving a semi-impasto effect, though not overly textured. The intensity of the colors and the blending suggests a painted or digitally created composition, rather than a photographic image. The color palettes, particularly the blend from light to dark shades of red, are the primary visual focus. The edges of the forms are soft, with no sharp lines or defined contours, contributing to the abstract nature of the piece. https://linktr.ee/zdesignworks

Full shot of a mosaic-style pattern. 

The image is composed of many small, irregular polygons, creating a textured effect. 

The colors transition smoothly from shades of burnt orange and brownish-red on the left side, gradually lightening and shifting towards off-white and gray tones. The right side of the image features shades of light and medium blues and a few hints of white. 

The transition between the colors is gradual, creating a visually interesting blend. The pattern is consistent throughout, with no obvious breaks or abrupt changes in the color gradients. https://linktr.ee/zdesignworks

Sands of Memory . . . 

Brushstrokes are visible throughout the piece, varying in thickness and direction, creating a sense of depth and movement. 
The colors are predominantly muted earth tones, ranging from light beige and tan to deeper browns and muted ochre. 
A few streaks of a darker, almost charcoal, color are incorporated into the composition, creating a sense of contrast and adding visual interest. 
The edges of the painting are visibly painted and have slightly irregular edges, giving a handcrafted feel. The background is a plain, white canvas. https://linktr.ee/zdesignworks

Veils of Transition . . .

The painting is composed of layers of thick, visible brushstrokes in various shades of muted colors. Dominant colors include shades of gray, off-white, dusky blues, deep ochre and burnt orange.

The colors blend and overlap in a dynamic way, creating areas of both intense and soft contrast. No discernible representational subject matter is visible, but the brushwork and color interactions suggest a sense of movement and energy.

The texture of the paint is prominent, conveying a tactile quality of the piece. The strokes vary in size and direction, giving a sense of depth and complexity within the painting. A subtle, light-colored signature or artist’s mark is present near the bottom right corner. https://linktr.ee/zdesignworks
