Original artwork description:

Tourmalines is an original abstract painting by L.A. artist Nestor Toro, measuring a captivating 40 x 30 inches. This radiant work showcases Toro’s mastery of abstract expressionism, drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of Helen Frankenthaler and the gestural intensity of Willem de Kooning. Painted with a large palette knife and finished with a glossy sheen, this piece evokes the shimmering beauty of tourmaline gemstones, making it an irresistible addition for collectors seeking art that radiates elegance and vibrancy.

The painting sparkles with a palette that mirrors the multifaceted hues of tourmalines. Deep blues and teals dominate the canvas, swirling together like the cool, watery depths of the gemstone, their richness amplified by the large palette knife’s bold, textured strokes. These cool tones are interwoven with lush greens, which flow through the composition like the verdant shades often found in tourmalines, adding a sense of vitality and depth. Vibrant purples and pinks emerge like the gem’s signature iridescence, infusing the piece with a radiant glow, while hints of white and soft yellows add a delicate shimmer, enhancing the painting’s gem-like quality.

The glossy finish amplifies the artwork’s luminous quality, making the colors shimmer with a radiant, almost crystalline intensity that feels alive with light. Toro’s use of a large palette knife creates a richly textured surface, with each stroke capturing the raw beauty of a tourmaline’s natural facets. Tourmalines is a visual celebration, blending color and form in a way that feels both luxurious and organic, inviting viewers to lose themselves in its beauty.

Let Tourmalines bring its dazzling beauty and timeless allure into your space—don’t miss the chance to own this breathtaking work that captures the essence of a precious gemstone in stunning color and form.
