Inspired by the bold optimism of 1970s color, this original abstract painting brings together deep burgundy, red, orange, yellow, cream, turquoise, teal, and navy blue in a radiant sunburst composition. The sharp angular bands create the feeling of light passing through a cut gemstone, with each color shift adding movement, structure, and visual energy. The diamond orientation makes this piece especially striking in smaller spaces. It is ideal as colorful wall art for an entryway, kitchen coffee-bar niche, curated shelf, hallway, reading corner, office, or modern living space. The compact scale makes it easy to place, while the vivid color palette gives it a strong focal point. Painted in Elena Alexander’s signature hard-edge geometric style, Sunburst Gem I combines retro color with a clean modern finish. The visible canvas texture adds depth and a tactile quality, while the crisp composition keeps the piece bold, structured, and contemporary.
