In the hush of darkness, a quiet fire blooms.
“Embers of Stillness” — an ode to resilience and grace, where color becomes light and silence turns luminous.

Art and words by Yves
#Art #StillLife #blueskyart #ContemporaryArt #cptsd

Embers of Stillness captures a poetic tension between fragility and strength. Against a void of darkness, the calla lilies rise—fiery orange petals glowing like embers suspended in quiet air. Their stems arch with grace, yet the composition radiates a restrained power. This piece reflects the delicate persistence of beauty even in solitude, a moment where warmth survives the surrounding night.

“Molten energy” — a collision of color and emotion. Where crimson and gold collide like molten metal, and silence becomes a roar beneath the surface.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves

#AbstractArt #Expressionism #ContemporaryPainting #cptsd #blueskyart

Molten energy captures the tension between eruption and restraint — a landscape of raw emotion forged in fire and stillness. Veins of red and gold melt into deep blues and blacks, suggesting both destruction and renewal. The textures evoke a sense of molten energy barely contained, as if the painting itself were breathing. It speaks of the quiet moments before transformation, when chaos simmers beneath the surface, waiting to break through.

Art and words by Yves

A portrait that doesn’t shout, yet refuses to fade.
Every muted hue, a held breath—every wash of green and gold, a quiet act of defiance.
Quiet Rebellion — an exploration of identity, silence, and inner strength.
#Art

Quiet Rebellion captures the fragile strength of a soul caught between introspection and defiance. Rendered in loose watercolor washes, the figure’s face emerges from abstraction — serene yet unsettled, bathed in bruised greens, ochres, and fading warmth. The painting embodies a still resistance: the power of vulnerability, the rebellion in silence, and the beauty found in quiet endurance.

“When the Silence Breaks” — a portrait of quiet devastation. The moment when emotion can no longer hide beneath the skin, when sorrow becomes light and color.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves

#art #painting #expressionism #cptsd

When the Silence Breaks captures the fragile threshold between endurance and collapse. The young man’s tear-streaked face, rendered in thick, expressive oil strokes, reveals not only his grief but the raw humanity beneath it. The reds and ochres burn like open wounds, while subtle shadows cradle his fragility. It is a painting of release — the instant when repression gives way to truth, and the pain, at last, finds its voice.

Fragility etched in porcelain and ink—
A mask broken, bleeding silence into the void.
Identity splintered, beauty found in ruin.

Art and words by Yves

#portrait #cptsd #mask #identity #blueskyart #complexptsd

This piece captures the haunting tension between concealment and collapse. A ghostly face, part mask and part flesh, splinters into cracks from which black ink seeps downward like unspoken wounds. The visage dissolves into stark emptiness, emphasizing the fragility of identity and the quiet weight of hidden suffering. The minimalistic void surrounding it amplifies the presence of absence—what is lost, broken, or fading. Echoes of the Fractured Self reveals the paradox of masks: meant to protect, yet inevitably breaking open to expose the truths they cannot contain.

thick layers of white, yellow, green, orange, and blue collide in a storm of texture. A canvas where the season doesn’t fade, it erupts.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves

#Abstract #art #Autumn #colors #complexptsd #cptsd #blueskyart

$The Autumn Leaves is an abstract expressionist painting that captures the fleeting power of the season not through detail, but through force. Heavy strokes of white, yellow, green, orange, and blue are piled onto the canvas in dense layers, creating both movement and weight. The colors clash and mingle, evoking leaves scattered by wind, light fractured through branches, and the bittersweet beauty of change. It is autumn distilled into raw emotion—vibrant, chaotic, and alive. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves$

In the hush of shadows, a single tulip whispers its quiet defiance.

Art and words by Yves

#Art #OilPainting #StillLife #Blueskyart #tulip #flower #complexptsd #cptsd #fragility #strength #purity #solitude

Echo of Light portrays a solitary white tulip illuminated against a dark, textured void. The contrast of delicate petals against deep shadow evokes both fragility and strength, as though the flower itself is a fleeting echo of purity within silence. Its subtle imperfections and graceful stance invite reflection on the tension between transience and endurance, offering a moment of quiet contemplation.
