Ayida (2026)Acrylic painting by Mengqiu Li

40 x 50 x 3.5cm (unframed)

£1,034.76

This abstract acrylic painting on canvas is a vibrant exploration of light, geometry, and spiritual symbolism. It balances warm, celestial glows with deep, grounding tones to create a piece that feels both ancient and contemporary.

Product Overview
This original artwork is an abstract expressionist painting that appears to depict a symbolic or spiritual narrative. At its center stands a towering, green-mantled figure or structure, punctuated by glowing orange diamond shapes and circular "orbs" of light.

The composition is densely packed with secondary figures and radiating energy:

Central Totem: A green, triangular form that anchors the piece, suggesting a guardian or a sacred mountain.

Celestial Orbs: Large, swirling halos of yellow and orange dominate the upper and lower right quadrants, mimicking suns or divine auras.

Shadow Figures: Subtle, dark silhouettes appear to gather at the base, evoking a sense of communal ritual or a pilgrimage toward the light.

Inspiration & Appeal
The piece draws heavy inspiration from early 20th-century spiritual abstraction (reminiscent of Hilma af Klint or Wassily Kandinsky) and theosophical art. It appeals to collectors who value:

Metaphysical Depth: The painting doesn't just decorate a wall; it invites meditation on themes of enlightenment, energy, and the human connection to the cosmos.

Dynamic Color Palette: The juxtaposition of "cool" forest greens and deep indigos against "hot" vermilions and golden yellows creates a visual vibration that changes depending on the room's lighting.

Narrative Mystery: Because the forms are semi-abstract, every viewer sees a different story—be it a nativity scene, a cosmic alignment, or an internal psychological journey.

Craftsmanship
The artist utilized acrylic paints on a textured canvas to achieve a rich, layered effect. Key techniques include:

Scumbling & Glazing: You can see where thin layers of light color have been applied over darker bases, creating the "hazy" or "glowing" effect around the orbs.

Impasto Accents: While mostly smooth, there are areas of visible brushwork that give the central figures a physical presence and weight.

Luminous Gradient: The transition from the dark, earthy bottom to the radiant, explosive top demonstrates a sophisticated control over color value, leading the eye upward in a deliberate "ascension."
