Where the Tide Remembers — a study of the quiet violence and gentle surrender found at the edge of the ocean. A moment where darkness meets foam, and everything feels both endless and intimate.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Art #cptsd
Where the Tide Remembers is an abstract seascape that captures the dramatic tension between deep, consuming darkness and the luminous turbulence of breaking waves. Inky black water dissolving into white, churning foam—transforming it into a textured, painterly interpretation. The brushwork mimics the ocean’s restless energy, swirling in cool blues and muted grays, while the bright edge of the wave creates a natural line of tension, suggesting both arrival and retreat. This artwork invites the viewer to stand at the threshold of the unknown—the place where the tide keeps its memories, and where silence is full of motion.

A portrait where vulnerability meets rupture.
A young figure stands suspended between serenity and fracture, his closed eyes crossed by a violent streak of red.
Stillness, sorrow, and the quiet scream beneath the skin.

—The Asylum Art—
Art, words by Y
“Red Line of Silence” portrays a young male figure suspended in an ethereal, almost marble-like stillness. His eyes are gently closed, yet they are severed visually by a single horizontal slash of deep red and black — a violent gesture that cuts through the calm surface of his expression. The artwork blends hyperreal portraiture with abstract distress, using texture, erosion, and bleeding pigment to create a haunting contrast between fragility and rupture. The boy’s parted lips and porcelain complexion evoke vulnerability, while the jagged streak suggests emotional wounds that remain unseen but deeply felt. The composition feels like a moment caught between silence and an unspoken breaking point — a quiet implosion rendered with stark beauty.

The Quiet Between Heartbeats portrays a young man draped in soft Baroque light, reclining as though caught in the fragile space between waking and surrender. His delicate features and pale complexion glow against the warm, atmospheric shadows that envelop him. The intricate lace at his collar and the flowing sleeves lend him a timeless elegance, while his posture — languid, vulnerable, unguarded — evokes a sense of emotional exhaustion or quiet longing. Set against the deep reds of a heavy tapestry and framed by a massive, darkened portrait behind him, the scene feels intimate yet theatrical, as if he has stepped out of one painting and collapsed into another. Rich textures, muted golds, and expressive brushwork heighten the drama, creating a portrait that is both haunting and tender. This piece captures not just a figure, but a moment suspended in breath — a whisper of stillness where beauty and melancholy intertwine.

A graphite study of vulnerability wrapped in shadow. A face half-revealed, half-guarded, drawn in soft gradients and sharpened edges. The moment between hiding and being seen.

Art and words by Yves
#Art #Drawing #Portrait
Veil of Quiet Defiance is a monochromatic graphite drawing capturing a young man partially obscured beneath a draped fabric. His hand lifts the shadowed veil just enough to expose one piercing, contemplative eye. The play of soft graphite shading and tightly rendered contours draws attention to the tension in his expression—a blend of fragility, defiance, and quiet introspection. The fabric falls like a dark curtain around him, amplifying the luminosity of his skin and the sculptural precision of his features. Every stroke contributes to a mood that feels cinematic and intimate, as though the viewer has arrived at a private moment suspended between concealment and revelation.

An abstract descent into layered memory and the quiet collisions between what fades and what refuses to disappear. Earth, rust, and deep green intertwine like fractured echoes on a forgotten wall.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
Where the Silence Breaks is an abstract expressionist work born from erosion, memory, and the geometry of unfinished thoughts. The composition blends mossy greens, aged ochres, and bruised burgundy tones, scraped and layered to evoke the feeling of weathered surfaces that have held too many stories for too long. Fine linear markings cut through the textured fields like architectural ghosts—suggesting past structures, lost alignments, or the quiet persistence of order within emotional chaos. The interplay of rough textures and delicate linework creates a tension between dissolution and design, as if the painting is in a constant negotiation between decay and clarity. The result is an artwork that feels ancient yet immediate, grounded yet elusive—an invitation to stand still inside a moment where silence finally fractures, revealing everything beneath.

Winter’s Last Bloom captures the haunting elegance of a peony preserved in frost, each petal edged with crystalline detail against a stark black void. The flower appears both fragile and eternal, suspended in a moment where beauty and cold coexist. The contrast between the velvety pink petals and the icy textures invites viewers to reflect on stillness, endurance, and the quiet poetry found in nature’s frozen moments.

Rising from the dark like a soul pulled through its own unraveling — Threadborne Ascension captures the moment a body becomes a conduit for forces seen and unseen. A dance between surrender and defiance.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
Threadborne Ascension depicts a solitary, human-like figure caught in a storm of fine, luminous strands that both bind and elevate it. Emerging from a dim, textured void, the figure appears carved from shadow and light, its posture twisted in a gesture of struggle, release, or transformation. The swirling filaments envelop the form like living threads—part marionette strings, part spiritual currents—suggesting an unraveling of identity or a transcendence beyond the physical self. The artwork balances darkness with subtle glimmers of illumination, creating an atmosphere of tension and fragile beauty. It speaks to the moment when chaos becomes creation, when the self fractures only to reach upward toward something greater.

“Frozen Grace” captures a lone rose encased in a delicate veil of frost, illuminated against a pure black void. The crystalline edges of the petals shimmer under the soft, directional light, creating a powerful contrast between fragility and resilience. Every detail — from the frost-kissed curves to the shadowed stem — evokes a moment frozen in time, where beauty persists despite the cold. It is a portrait of endurance, quiet emotion, and the haunting stillness of winter’s touch. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx concept and execution by Yves

A winter world in motion — where light fractures, shadows race, and the dawn feels alive beneath your feet. The piece bursts with color, chaos, and the electricity of a sun fighting through the cold.

—The Asylum Art—
Art and words by Yves
Embers of the Frozen Dawn is an abstract expressionist exploration of a winter sunrise as pure motion. The artwork transforms the landscape into a whirlwind of scribbled energy — fiery reds, molten oranges, and icy blues collide in frantic strokes that radiate outward from the rising sun. The trees stand as tangled silhouettes, their branches dissolving into webs of vibrating lines, creating the sensation of a world trembling awake. The piece captures not just the sight of dawn, but the feeling of it — a moment where warmth, cold, stillness, and momentum all meet in a single explosive breath of color.

A burst of creation suspended in the void — the moment light chooses to exist.
A starbirth distilled to its purest geometry: radiant, sharp, alive.

Art and words by Yves
#blueskyart #Abstract #Starburst #Expressionism #cptsd #complexptsd #art #star
Originflare captures the instant of emergence — a singular flare of light erupting against the infinite dark. The artwork is built around a symmetrical starburst, its core blazing in molten gold as slender rays of orange and electric blue spear outward in perfect tension. The piece balances stillness and velocity, evoking both cosmic creation and inner ignition. It is an abstract meditation on beginnings, energy, and the silent violence of illumination, where one point of brilliance fractures the darkness and becomes a universe unto itself.

Fragments of night stitched together beneath a swollen moon — where darkness breaks, new worlds appear.

Art and words by Yves
#blueskyart #Surrealism #moon #AbstractNature #abstract #nature #cptsd #complexcptsd
Moon Shattered, Night Reborn depicts a surreal nocturnal vision where the full moon hangs impossibly large, luminous and commanding, while the landscape around it fractures like stained glass. Jagged shards of shadow and sky interlace with spindly winter branches, creating a mosaic of night that feels both delicate and otherworldly. Soft clouds burn gently with muted oranges and greens, hinting at the last breath of twilight. The piece evokes the sensation of witnessing the sky break open — not in ruin, but in transformation — revealing that even in darkness, beauty exists in the fractured, the fragile, and the unseen spaces between light.

The Quiet Bloom captures the tender defiance of a single yellow rose emerging from a thorny branch against a muted, atmospheric background.

“Where stillness fractures and something fierce breaks through.
Rupture of the Quiet — an exploration of tension, silence, and the moment a heart finally speaks.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#abstractart #contemporaryart #expressionism
Rupture of the Quiet embodies the moment where controlled calm meets the eruption of raw emotion. The left side holds a pale, muted stillness — a façade of composure. But as the eye travels inward, cracks form, dark veins gather, and suddenly the silence splits. On the right, a violent bloom of red bursts through, symbolizing passion, grief, anger, memory — emotion that can no longer be contained. The piece exists in the space between restraint and release, harmony and fracture, the self we show and the truth that trembles beneath.

Beauty is not a fixed form — it’s a pulse, a flare, a moment of becoming.
Where Light Learns to Bloom — new abstract expressionist work exploring radiance, chaos, and the tenderness inside color.

—The Asylum Art—
Art and words by Yves
Where Light Learns to Bloom is an abstract expressionist exploration of how beauty forms—not as something quiet or delicate, but as a sudden ignition. Color erupts and dissolves across the canvas: molten golds, blooming magentas, deep oceans of cobalt shifting into ember. The composition has no beginning and no end; it feels as though the painting is actively breathing, expanding outward from a warm luminous center. The layered textures and sweeping gestures suggest movement, growth, and emotional illumination—the moment beauty stops being something we observe and becomes something we feel, rising from within.

In the borderland between light and absence, something waits — not death, but memory.
“Where Shadows Meet the Living” — A meditation on all we keep buried.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#art #abstractexpressionism #cptsd
Where Shadows Meet the Living captures the moment where two worlds touch — the illuminated and the obscured, the conscious and the forgotten. A skull emerges at the seam between light and darkness, not as a symbol of death, but of what lingers: history, grief, memory, the truths we turn away from until they shape us. The composition draws the eye along a stark vertical divide — one half bleached and raw, the other swallowed in layered blacks. This boundary is not clean; it fractures and bleeds, as though reality itself is dissolving into a haze of charcoal and smoke. The skull appears mid-transition, formed by spreading shadows and splintered texture, suggesting that identity, too, is something we continually shed and reclaim. This piece is not about endings. It is about the quiet things that remain. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

A single flame can be both wound and weapon.
Vessel of Burning Quiet — an abstract expression of restrained rage and the silent heat of being alive.

— The Asylum Art -
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #art #cptsd
Vessel of Burning Quiet is a study in tension — a single ribbon of red cascading through the void. The curve suggests both motion and containment, like a pulse trying to escape the body that holds it. The deep black background absorbs light, creating the sensation of immense stillness, while the red acts as a living element: blood, flame, memory, desire, anger, or life-force. The piece holds both violence and grace: a quiet fire that doesn’t scream, but smolders. It speaks to the moments when intensity has no voice, yet refuses to die.

In the quiet hours where shadows breathe and memories echo, he walks beneath a moon that sees everything.
The Weight of the Moon — a study of burden, silence, and the fire beneath the skin.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#art #cptsd
The Weight of the Moon captures a solitary figure standing before an immense, glowing moon, his form swallowed by darkness and surrounded by a ground of violent crimson. The brushwork is raw, chaotic, and emotional—splashes, drips, and smears form a landscape that feels half physical, half psychological. The man’s back is turned, emphasizing distance, introspection, and the kind of grief that cannot be spoken aloud. This piece explores the sensation of carrying an invisible heaviness—the moon representing all that is remembered, all that cannot be escaped, and all that presses down even in silence. The red earth churns like internal conflict: rage, sorrow, longing. The figure does not flee. He stands, enduring.

Collision of Color captures the raw tension between chaos and unity. Bold layers of red, yellow, blue, and green clash and merge across the canvas, their thick impasto surfaces scarred with drips and ridges. The painting is a visual symphony of opposites — warmth and cold, violence and calm — suspended in perpetual movement. It embodies the emotional turbulence of creation itself: where destruction births beauty, and contrast becomes connection.

“To the One Who Breathes My Silence” — an abstract expressionist meditation on love that transcends form, where devotion lingers in color, not words. #AbstractExpressionism #complexcptsd#cptsd #blueskyart #art #paint
An abstract expressionist piece steeped in emotional resonance — “my beloved” is not shown but felt. Soft, sweeping gestures of warm crimson and pale gold collide with muted violets and ivory veils, as if love itself dissolves into air. Thick impasto strokes embody the pulse of closeness and loss, while faint, transparent washes suggest breath and distance. Textures shift between violent and tender, mirroring the human heart’s fragility. The painting feels like a heartbeat rendered in color — intimate, raw, and wordless.
