Tidal Zone (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Gera Dunachie

Tidal Zone is an original abstract painting built around layered whites, cool greys and black lines, interrupted by a sharp yellow-green block. Angled planes and curved marks cross the surface, with traces of burgundy and pink showing through the pale paint. It explores tension within an apparently quiet composition: the yellow-green brings a charge that refuses to settle.

Its horizontal format suits a position above a sideboard, in a living room or across an office wall. The restrained palette connects with stone, wood and dark furnishings, while the acid-yellow accent gives the room a clear point of interest. Visible brushwork and overlapping layers reward a closer look.

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.
