Berry Smoothie

Berry Smoothie is a 90cm square acrylic painting that presents a bold, stylised abstraction built from layered geometric planes. Set against a deep, dark ground, a central clustered form dominates the composition — faceted and circular in overall silhouette, yet constructed from sharp, angular fragments.

Lavender and violet tones form the core mass, subtly graded to create depth and volume. Interspersed within are accents of mint green, pale yellow, soft coral, and flashes of red, suggesting both sweetness and contrast. The crisp edges and flat colour fields give the work a graphic clarity, while the overlapping shapes imply dimensional layering.

The dark surround frames the central form, intensifying the luminosity of the purples and pinks and drawing the viewer’s focus inward. The composition feels contained yet dynamic, as if the forms are gently rotating or folding into one another.

In Berry Smoothie, the playful title aligns with the palette — rich, blended, and vibrant — while the controlled geometry keeps the work contemporary and refined. The result is a visually satisfying balance between sweetness and structure, abstraction and suggestion.
