Original artwork description:

Emberlight
Original Abstract Painting by Helena Wierzbicki

Igniting emotion through bold abstraction, "Emberlight" captures the flicker between destruction and renewal.

I painted "Emberlight" in a moment of deep reflection—drawn to that electric space where fire becomes metaphor. The glowing reds, burnt oranges, and smoldering shadows weren’t random; I layered them deliberately to echo the energy of something powerful just past its breaking point. I wasn’t chasing calm—I wanted tension, movement, and the raw essence of heat.

This piece speaks to the human spirit’s resilience. Just like embers beneath fading flames, it holds a quiet intensity—a pulse of light waiting to ignite again. I built the composition using palette knives and expressive brushstrokes, letting texture lead emotion. The geometry fades in and out, symbolizing clarity fighting chaos.

"Emberlight" is for collectors who see beauty in transition, in vulnerability, in power that simmers just below the surface.
