This artwork is a multi canvas painting.
Three 24W x 48 H x .7 D in canvas.

Feel the passionate energy of Purple Display of Affection (With Blue and Silver) 2, an original abstract triptych by Los Angeles artist Nestor Toro. This captivating work comprises three canvases, each measuring 24W x 48H x 0.7D inches, creating a total size of 72 x 48 inches. The triptych’s versatility allows you to display the panels together for a unified statement or space them apart to make a massive, room-dominating impact. Toro’s passionate abstract expressionist style, inspired by Jackson Pollock’s iconic action painting, channels the raw, gestural energy of Pollock’s drip techniques, while the emotive depth recalls Mark Rothko’s color-driven abstractions.

The palette of Purple Display of Affection (With Blue and Silver) 2 is a vibrant expression of affection, built through layers of paint that pulse with intensity. Dominating the canvases are rich purples—ranging from deep, velvety tones to shimmering iridescent purples—that glow with a glossy intensity, evoking a sense of warmth and connection, like a heartfelt embrace captured in color. These purples are interwoven with bold strokes of Prussian blue, a deep, inky hue that adds a layer of mystery and contrast, reminiscent of a twilight sky or the depths of a serene ocean.

Toro’s action painting technique—spontaneous, textured, and layered—infuses the triptych with a palpable sense of movement, as if the colors are alive on the canvas. The gestural drips and splatters create a rhythmic energy that flows across the three panels, uniting them in a dynamic composition that feels both chaotic and harmonious. At its impressive total size, Purple Display of Affection (With Blue and Silver) 2 is a perfect statement piece for a modern living space, a luxurious office, or a curated gallery wall, where its passionate energy can truly shine, as seen in the striking display above a sleek sofa in a contemporary room.
