This vibrant abstract painting is anchored in the center vertical by a slender amber stem, from which a wild and luminous flower unfurls in defiant ecstasy—a radiant, impossible bloom born of pure color and light.
At the center, an exuberant cluster of overlapping, translucent organic shapes—curved petals, leaves, and fluid forms—erupts upward in a joyful, asymmetrical bouquet. Translucent petals of emerald, lime, and viridian surge upward, overlapping in feverish embrace, while softer veils of coral, rose, and sun-kissed yellow curl and spiral outward like laughter caught mid-air. Lavender shadows and teal whispers weave through the heart, blending into new, fleeting hues where layers kiss—moments of magenta, bursts of chartreuse, glimmers of gold that exist only in the overlap. The shapes are rendered in a rich yet soft spectrum of colors: vivid greens, lime, teal, yellow, coral, red, magenta, lavender, and pale blue, with semi-transparent layers that blend gently where they intersect, creating luminous overlaps and subtle new hues.
The composition radiates energy and growth: some forms stretch outward like blooming petals or reaching tendrils, while others curl inward, anchored by a thin, warm orange stem-like line that runs vertically through the core. A single pale yellow oval floats near the top, suggesting a sun or seed pod.
Every curve breathes with organic joy: tendrils reach, leaves unfurl, forms swell and sway as if stirred by an unseen summer breeze. The white void around it becomes infinite sky, making the blossom feel weightless, suspended in eternal becoming.
Set against a clean white background, the piece feels light, airy, and alive—like a frozen moment of a colorful plant unfurling in sunlight or an abstract floral explosion captured mid-bloom.
Overall, the work conveys a sense of playful vitality, harmony, and organic movement, achieved through delicate collage-like layering and a masterful interplay of translucent color. This is no earthly plant, but a living hymn to vitality—a prayer of color, where transparency becomes revelation and overlapping edges sing of boundless, playful life.
It was designed using algorithmic procedures that make decisions using random numbers. The title "Tychist Object" refers to a work embracing tychism, a philosophical concept coined by Charles Sanders Peirce. Tychism (from the Greek tychē, meaning "chance" or "luck") posits that genuine absolute chance plays a real, objective role in the universe, rather than everything being strictly determined.
