Here, the value and quality of the emerald are captured in a piece that elevates the charisma of any living space. Why collect this work?A chain of pale, tapered shapes crosses the composition vertically, interrupting the darker green and purple field and giving an otherwise continuous network a pronounced directional pull. Mia describes his abstraction as optimistic and “charismatic.” Here, that intention operates through contrast rather than simple brightness: luminous-looking passages are held within dense, irregular divisions.In the photograph, large colour zones meet at angular seams while faint looping marks pass through them. The two systems do not fully align, creating tension between deliberate partition and exploratory drawing.The catalogue records acrylic on paper. Acrylic can support differing degrees of opacity; the photographed variations in colour density make some forms appear assertive while others seem partially submerged beneath the linear web.The 2025 title, Timeless as an Emerald, directs attention toward the dominant photographed greens and facet-like divisions. Its curatorial interest lies in how that gemstone reference guides recognition without resolving the painting into an illustration. About the ArtistOsman Mia Osman Mia is an artist on Mondoir Studio.
