Purple Horizon (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Gera Dunachie

Muted lilac and deep midnight blue meet warmer passages of peach, amber and soft pink, held within a loose geometric structure. Fine lines cross the surface while a dark horizontal form gives the composition weight and direction. Inspired by watching night approach across the South Downs at sunset, Purple Horizon explores the moment when one state begins to yield to another, not through conflict but through balance, negotiation and gradual change.

The combination of soft colour and strong structure gives this painting a calm but distinctive presence. Its 40 × 40 cm format works well above a sideboard, desk or reading chair, bringing warmth and depth to a living space, bedroom or contemporary office.

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 synaesthesia, which means that 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.
