This artwork presents a mesmerising and minimalist abstraction masterfully created with an exquisite balance of color and form. Dominated by shades of serene blue, the canvas invokes a feeling of tranquility and expansiveness. The composition is marked by an arch elegantly stretching across the upper half, rendered in soft, translucent hues of pink, white, and faint red, suggesting perhaps a delicate rainbow or an ethereal bridge between two persons dear to each other.
Beneath this arch, a subtle spherical form emerges with a gentle luminescence, almost floating within the blue expanse.
It evokes the image of a distant planet or a rising/sinking sun or moon, adding a sense of mystery and depth to the scene. Tender translucent layering of colors create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its calming essence and to interpret its forms through their personal lens.


Aureum is an internationally renowned visual artist with the background in fine art and interior design. Antique and vintage furniture, contemporary and modern art and accessories inspire her.

Anastasia's creations are characterized by a wide range of styles. Surrealism, realism and abstraction are merged in a passionate art dance. Embracing, discovering and penetrating each other, they take on new forms and shades in every new painting. The artist reflects on the relationship between space and forms, where colour is an emotional response to the way they intersect.

Aureum's works are a personal interiorization that matches the search for a deeper meaning, beyond visible reality. Her’s is a desire to go further on then the pure representation of reality, a need to tell something that goes behind the external aspect, something that speaks of subject’s inner nature.
