Cold Diamond (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Gera Dunachie

Cold Diamond is a contemporary abstract work on cradled wood panel, built from a glacial palette of blues, greys, white and black, with pink introduced as a quiet disruption. Geometric planes are layered across the surface, shifting between opacity and transparency, creating a sense of depth that is cool on the surface but charged beneath it.
The composition holds its tension quietly. There is no dramatic gesture. Instead, the electric quality of the work accumulates through the relationship between the receding planes and the contained warmth of the pink passages. Structure and atmosphere in careful balance.
Suited to spaces that reward sustained looking - contemporary interiors, considered office environments, or alongside other works in a curated collection.

I'm a London-based abstract painter working with acrylic and mixed media on cradled wood panel. My paintings build through layering and reduction. They tend to be geometric in structure, with colour that moves between cold restraint and moments of warmth and friction.
I have aphantasia and syneasthesia: I can't visualise in advance, and colour arrives as sensation rather than image. Each painting develops through that process, with earlier marks and decisions left visible in the surface. What remains is what earned its place.

This work has been protected by anti-UV varnish. It's unframed with finished panel edges in grey. Ready to hang
