Why hang a yellow abstract painting in your home?

Hi, I'm Théo! Yellow is the colour that makes you smile before you even think about it. My mother used it when a canvas needed light. In a home, that is exactly its job : to bring the sun, especially where it is missing.

Yellow, a dose of good mood

Yellow is the brightest colour of the spectrum, the one that stimulates and awakens optimism. This is the principle of dopamine decor : some colours trigger an immediate joyful response. In abstract painting, yellow is no longer an object, it is the sensation of light itself, a warmth that radiates all around.

Which room for a yellow painting?

Yellow is the best remedy for dark rooms. In a windowless entrance, a north-facing kitchen, a slightly dull dining corner, a yellow abstract painting acts like an extra window. It also energises a study and wakes up a grey or beige living room. It pairs very well with grey, white, wood and, for the bold, a deep blue opposite it.

Which format for a yellow painting?

As a main point of light, a yellow large format lights up a whole wall. Above a worktop or a console, a horizontal format spreads the warmth widthwise. And in a reading corner or a study, a small yellow format is enough to change the mood.

Three yellow abstract paintings to discover

Each canvas by Régine Gardan is a unique piece, hand-painted, signed and delivered with its certificate of authenticity. Here are three full of light.

« Incarnation » (80 × 100 cm) is a great sun on canvas : vibrant yellows that hold a whole living-room wall. A generous format that becomes the room's point of light.

« Coucher De Soleil » (60 × 73 cm) captures the warm light of late afternoon : amber, soothing yellows. Perfect in a kitchen, a breakfast nook or a slightly dark north-facing entrance.

« Ying Yang » (60 × 73 cm) plays on the balance of yellow and shadow : a measured, graphic energy. Ideal in a study to stimulate without tiring, or on a wall that lacks spark.
