Ultraviolette Grid of Cobalt Glass Forms - Abstract Color - Abstract Photography by Julie Markes

Abstract Color

This collection explores color as a language in its own right, without relying on a literal subject. Refracted light, glass, reflections, and saturated fields transform familiar materials into vivid, almost painterly compositions where forms dissolve and reassemble.

Rhythm, transparency, and the meeting of contrasting hues are central to these works. Cool blues sit alongside fiery reds; ordered grids shift into fluid waves. These are photographs made for slow looking, changing with scale, screen light, and viewing distance.

A compact arrangement of translucent compartments creates a jewel-like abstract study in violet, indigo, electric blue, and flashes of magenta. Rectangular units overlap across the frame, their softened edges and internal distortions suggesting colored glass, illuminated tiles, liquid resin, or an imagined architectural surface seen through water. Dark seams establish a measured grid, while uneven reflections prevent the pattern from feeling static or mechanical. Cooler blue passages gather along the right side, balancing the warmer purple glow that intensifies toward the left and center. Subtle bends, highlights, and shadowed interiors reward close viewing, revealing a shifting relationship between structure and fluidity. This contemporary abstract photograph transforms a familiar geometric arrangement into an ambiguous visual experience, well suited to modern interiors, creative studios, editorial design, hospitality spaces, and collections focused on experimental color photography, optical texture, and perceptual play.
