This is an original Abstract Mixed Media artwork created by Chantel Stevenson.
his image presents an intricate pattern composed of floral shapes set against a background of soft, warm hues. The flowers, each with petal-like shapes radiating from a central circle, are arranged within a web of dark, almost black, curving lines that create a geometric lattice. The background inside the spaces formed by this lattice features a watercolor-style wash of light pinks, oranges, and subtle yellows, blending delicately to evoke a sense of warmth and organic flow.
Visually, the contrast between the bold, dark outlines and the gentle pastel tones behind them lends the composition a striking balance of structure and softness. The repeated daisy-like flowers symbolize innocence, purity, and simplicity in many cultures, while the flowing watercolors infuse a natural, almost ethereal energy into the design.
Artistically, this might reflect a harmony between order and spontaneity—structured black shapes embody defined boundaries, while the loose watercolor washes suggest freedom and natural variation. The design also hints at textile or wallpaper patterns, where repetitive motifs provide decorative rhythm.
Overall, this image is an elegant interplay of color and form that invites both calm and attentiveness through its floral symbolism and balanced composition.
