A flower split by temperature and emotion.
Warmth meets cold, softness meets tension.
Chromatic Bloom — where light reshapes feeling into color.

Art and words by Yves
#peony #flower #flowers #emotion #bloom #complexptsd #cptsd #blueskyart
Chromatic Bloom is an exploration of duality expressed through a single, fragile form. The flower becomes a quiet battleground between warmth and coolness, illuminated by opposing hues that divide yet coexist within the same body. Soft, layered petals dissolve into painterly abstraction, while the stem remains grounded, anchoring the composition in vulnerability. The work speaks to emotional contrast — tenderness and restraint, presence and distance — capturing a moment where beauty exists precisely because it is pulled in two directions at once.

Blue Quietude — a portrait caught between breath and silence.
A face made of shadows, memory, and the soft ache of being seen.

Art and words by Yves
#Art #AbstractPortrait #Expressionism #Blueskyart #portrait #complexptsd #cptsd #impressionist
“Blue Quietude” is an intimate, impressionistic portrait born from the tension between presence and disappearance. Rendered entirely in cool, layered blues against a warm, glowing backdrop, the figure emerges like a memory surfacing through mist. Loose, gestural strokes suggest emotional depth rather than physical precision—an inner landscape expressed through subtle shifts of value and texture. The subject’s downcast eyes and softened features evoke contemplation, vulnerability, and a quiet emotional weight. The blending of blue tones with hints of peach creates a gentle contrast, giving the impression of warmth struggling through melancholy. It is a portrait of stillness, reflection, and the fragile beauty of a moment suspended within feeling. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

A single bloom, unfolding like a whispered secret in the dark.
‘Midnight Petal’ — where stillness becomes a kind of light.

Art and words by Yves

#flower #bloom #petal #nature #blueskyart #complexptsd #cptsd #art #midnight #velvet #light
Midnight Petal is an intimate study of solitude and quiet resilience. Inspired by the original photograph’s elegant minimalism, this artwork transforms the lone flower into a luminous presence suspended in darkness. The petals, rendered in cool graphite-blue tones, appear almost weightless—soft, translucent, and edged with light—while the stem curves with a subtle, organic grace. The deep, velvety background swallows all distraction, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the bloom’s fragile strength. It’s a portrait of silence, tenderness, and the beauty found in moments that ask for nothing but to be seen. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

Frozen Wish — a moment caught between breath and silence. A single seed of hope held still in winter light.

Art and words by Yves
#Art #AbstractNature #Painting #blueskyart #abstract #nature #dandelion #frozen #winter #complexptsd #cptsd #silence
Frozen Wish is a quiet meditation on fragility and endurance. The artwork transforms the delicate seed head into an emblem of suspended longing. Rendered in icy blues and soft gradients, the piece evokes the feeling of a breath held too long — the world hushed, the air thin, time standing still. The textured brushwork adds weight to something inherently weightless, giving the dandelion a ghostlike presence against the blurred, dreamlike background. It is a study in stillness, a whisper of resilience in a frozen moment, a wish waiting for the thaw. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

A watercolor descent into the quiet between stars — where darkness becomes velvet, and light becomes a whisper.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Art #Watercolor #StarryNight #AbstractLandscape #VisualPoetry #complexptsd #cptsd
Where the Night Breathes is an ethereal watercolor landscape that drifts between dream and cosmos. Deep, layered shades of indigo form rolling mountains that almost dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of calm mystery. Above them, a sky scattered with delicate gold stars glows like distant fire. The gentle splatters and soft gradients mimic the quiet pulse of the universe, creating a space where stillness feels alive. It is a piece about wonder, solitude, and the silent conversations we have with the night. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

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.

“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 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.

The autumn leaves II captures the quiet poetry of transition — a moment when seasons meet in color and fade into mist. The vivid reds, golds, and blues of the trees rise in delicate symmetry above a glasslike reflection, evoking balance between warmth and cold, life and dormancy.

A moment where chaos meets stillness — where the sea becomes the unknown, and the dark shore, the self that must endure it.
Edge of Becoming

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractExpressionism #blueskyart #ContemporaryArt #complexptsd #cptsd
Edge of Becoming captures the eternal dialogue between motion and stillness — the restless sea colliding with the grounded void. Deep indigos melt into foaming whites, their textures echoing the tension between surrender and resistance. The black expanse beneath suggests both depth and absence, a threshold where transformation begins. This work speaks to the fragile balance between destruction and renewal, chaos and creation — the moment before becoming something new.

“Fragility isn’t weakness — it’s the beauty of still standing while everything trembles.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves

#AbstractExpressionism #blueskyart #Impasto #Fragility #abstract #expressionism #complexptsd #cptsd #beauty #art #paint
A visceral exploration of fragility — not as weakness, but as the haunting beauty of things on the verge of breaking. Thick, heavy impasto sweeps across the canvas in trembling gestures: muted whites, soft blushes, and ashen grays clashing with deep charcoal scars. Beneath the surface, delicate fissures expose underlayers of pale gold and raw linen, whispering of what lies just below endurance. Each stroke feels like a heartbeat under strain — raw, trembling, defiant. It’s a piece that breathes the tension between strength and collapse, where even the cracks feel alive.

Sol Ascendant captures the essence of emergence — the birth of light through the veil of darkness. The golden orb anchors the composition, radiating order and serenity through fine, deliberate lines that pierce the black field below. The texture above suggests celestial movement, like clouds dissolving under dawn.

The Eye of Silence — an abstract expression of vision dissolving into void.

Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #ContemporaryArt #art #abstract #eye #complexptsd #cptsd
An abstract expressionist piece where the iris becomes a portal — a collapsing universe made of swirling grays, blacks, and faint silvers. The central void (the pupil) is rendered as a deep, matte black that absorbs all surrounding light, while the surrounding textures radiate outward like smoke, threads, or electric roots. Layers of paint are pulled outward in circular motion, scraped, then re-layered with thin washes of white and ash tones, giving a sense of both movement and stillness — like staring into infinity.

Elegy in Petals captures a wilted bouquet resting in a dark vase, its stems bent under the weight of time. Once vibrant flowers now sag into shadow, their colors muted yet rich with melancholy.

“Lines collide, faces emerge — chaos becomes identity. ‘Fractured Whispers’ is an exploration of presence, absence, and everything in between.”

- The Asylum Art -
Art and words by Yves

#art #portrait #blueskyart #complexptsd #cptsd #chaos #face
Fractured Whispers is an abstract portrait born from chaos. The overlapping, tangled lines echo the noise of thought and memory, yet from this storm emerges a face — sharp, haunting, and undeniably human. The work speaks to fragility and resilience, the way identity is pieced together from fragments, shadows, and fleeting impressions. It captures the paradox of clarity within disorder: how something deeply expressive can emerge from the uncontainable.
