Flat Cushion Flawless (A Sapphire) relies on value, color and shape at the forefront of its design.

Flat Cushion Flawless (A Sapphire) is an exploration of shape. A flat pentagon and bold triangles necessitated an additional layer of design to ensure the eye saw a sapphire. This additional layer intersects competing shapes with shapes that guide the eye in seeing a sapphire. Opaque highlights and shadows allow Flat Cushion Flawless (A Sapphire) to give way to its design.

With a prolonged gaze, you will find the details that command your eye and satisfy your artistic interest. Leaving Flat Cushion Flawless (A Sapphire) will only return you to the painting to rediscovered the original design, a sapphire.
