Whispers Beyond the Fire

This captivating 60x60cm (24×24″) abstract oil painting channels the wild, fiery sunsets of Cornwall through layered textures and vibrant hues. Inspired by the lyric “The Other Side of the Flames” from John Martyn’s “Sunshine’s Better,” the piece blends passionate reds, glowing oranges, electric neon pinks, and smoky blacks into a dimensional surface that seems to flicker with inner light.

The 4cm (1.5″) deep canvas features heavy impasto brushwork that creates dramatic shadows and highlights, changing throughout the day as light interacts with the textured surface. A semi-gloss varnish enhances the depth of color while protecting the rich pigment layers. The painting wraps around the edges for a finished look, ready to hang as-is without framing.

Customization options allow you to adapt this piece to your space. Choose from multiple sizes – maintain the original powerful square format or opt for a striking vertical 50x70cm (20×28″) variation. Adjust color intensity to emphasize certain tones or explore alternative sunset palettes while preserving the dynamic energy of the composition.

Each painting comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and is carefully packaged for secure shipping. Free tracked delivery is available throughout the UK, with international shipping options.

Whether as a focal point in a modern living space or an energizing accent in a creative studio, this artwork brings the warmth and mystery of summer sunsets into your home year-round.
