Fragments of night stitched together beneath a swollen moon — where darkness breaks, new worlds appear.

Art and words by Yves
#blueskyart #Surrealism #moon #AbstractNature #abstract #nature #cptsd #complexcptsd
Moon Shattered, Night Reborn depicts a surreal nocturnal vision where the full moon hangs impossibly large, luminous and commanding, while the landscape around it fractures like stained glass. Jagged shards of shadow and sky interlace with spindly winter branches, creating a mosaic of night that feels both delicate and otherworldly. Soft clouds burn gently with muted oranges and greens, hinting at the last breath of twilight. The piece evokes the sensation of witnessing the sky break open — not in ruin, but in transformation — revealing that even in darkness, beauty exists in the fractured, the fragile, and the unseen spaces between light.

Amid thorns, it still opens — soft light against the dark.
The Quiet Bloom — a reflection on resilience, beauty, and solitude.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Art #Painting #StillLife #Symbolism #FineArt #blueskyart #complexptsd #cptsd #rose
The Quiet Bloom captures the tender defiance of a single yellow rose emerging from a thorny branch against a muted, atmospheric background. The contrast between the flower’s luminous petals and the somber tones around it evokes the tension between fragility and endurance. This piece is a meditation on inner strength — how beauty can persist, even in silence, even in shadow. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

“Where stillness fractures and something fierce breaks through.
Rupture of the Quiet — an exploration of tension, silence, and the moment a heart finally speaks.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#abstractart #contemporaryart #expressionism
Rupture of the Quiet embodies the moment where controlled calm meets the eruption of raw emotion. The left side holds a pale, muted stillness — a façade of composure. But as the eye travels inward, cracks form, dark veins gather, and suddenly the silence splits. On the right, a violent bloom of red bursts through, symbolizing passion, grief, anger, memory — emotion that can no longer be contained. The piece exists in the space between restraint and release, harmony and fracture, the self we show and the truth that trembles beneath.

Beauty is not a fixed form — it’s a pulse, a flare, a moment of becoming.
Where Light Learns to Bloom — new abstract expressionist work exploring radiance, chaos, and the tenderness inside color.

—The Asylum Art—
Art and words by Yves
Where Light Learns to Bloom is an abstract expressionist exploration of how beauty forms—not as something quiet or delicate, but as a sudden ignition. Color erupts and dissolves across the canvas: molten golds, blooming magentas, deep oceans of cobalt shifting into ember. The composition has no beginning and no end; it feels as though the painting is actively breathing, expanding outward from a warm luminous center. The layered textures and sweeping gestures suggest movement, growth, and emotional illumination—the moment beauty stops being something we observe and becomes something we feel, rising from within.

Where Fire Meets Mist captures the fragile balance between intensity and calm. A molten sun hovers above a dreamlike ridge, its crimson glow dissolving into cool washes of indigo and smoke. The slender trees rise like whispers between two worlds — one burning, one dissolving. This watercolor piece speaks to transition and the quiet tension between passion and serenity, light and loss.

In the borderland between light and absence, something waits — not death, but memory.
“Where Shadows Meet the Living” — A meditation on all we keep buried.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#art #abstractexpressionism #cptsd
Where Shadows Meet the Living captures the moment where two worlds touch — the illuminated and the obscured, the conscious and the forgotten. A skull emerges at the seam between light and darkness, not as a symbol of death, but of what lingers: history, grief, memory, the truths we turn away from until they shape us. The composition draws the eye along a stark vertical divide — one half bleached and raw, the other swallowed in layered blacks. This boundary is not clean; it fractures and bleeds, as though reality itself is dissolving into a haze of charcoal and smoke. The skull appears mid-transition, formed by spreading shadows and splintered texture, suggesting that identity, too, is something we continually shed and reclaim. This piece is not about endings. It is about the quiet things that remain. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

A single flame can be both wound and weapon.
Vessel of Burning Quiet — an abstract expression of restrained rage and the silent heat of being alive.

— The Asylum Art -
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #art #cptsd
Vessel of Burning Quiet is a study in tension — a single ribbon of red cascading through the void. The curve suggests both motion and containment, like a pulse trying to escape the body that holds it. The deep black background absorbs light, creating the sensation of immense stillness, while the red acts as a living element: blood, flame, memory, desire, anger, or life-force. The piece holds both violence and grace: a quiet fire that doesn’t scream, but smolders. It speaks to the moments when intensity has no voice, yet refuses to die.

In the quiet hours where shadows breathe and memories echo, he walks beneath a moon that sees everything.
The Weight of the Moon — a study of burden, silence, and the fire beneath the skin.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#art #cptsd
The Weight of the Moon captures a solitary figure standing before an immense, glowing moon, his form swallowed by darkness and surrounded by a ground of violent crimson. The brushwork is raw, chaotic, and emotional—splashes, drips, and smears form a landscape that feels half physical, half psychological. The man’s back is turned, emphasizing distance, introspection, and the kind of grief that cannot be spoken aloud. This piece explores the sensation of carrying an invisible heaviness—the moon representing all that is remembered, all that cannot be escaped, and all that presses down even in silence. The red earth churns like internal conflict: rage, sorrow, longing. The figure does not flee. He stands, enduring.

“Where light meets chaos, color becomes confession.”
Collision of Color — an abstract expression of conflict and harmony, where every shade bleeds into its opposite.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #art
Collision of Color captures the raw tension between chaos and unity. Bold layers of red, yellow, blue, and green clash and merge across the canvas, their thick impasto surfaces scarred with drips and ridges. The painting is a visual symphony of opposites — warmth and cold, violence and calm — suspended in perpetual movement. It embodies the emotional turbulence of creation itself: where destruction births beauty, and contrast becomes connection.

“Beneath the calm surface, memories splinter — silent, buried, unresolved.
‘Shards of the Forgotten’ — where the past pierces through the present.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Art #Surrealism #Trauma #RepressedMemories #cptsd
Shards of the Forgotten delves into the fragile boundary between memory and oblivion. The shattered eye becomes a metaphor for the mind under strain — each fissure a glimpse into buried recollections fighting to resurface. Graphite tones blur between clarity and distortion, mirroring how repressed memories fracture identity yet persist in haunting fragments. This piece embodies the quiet violence of remembering what was meant to be forgotten. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

“To the One Who Breathes My Silence” — an abstract expressionist meditation on love that transcends form, where devotion lingers in color, not words. #AbstractExpressionism #complexcptsd#cptsd #blueskyart #art #paint
An abstract expressionist piece steeped in emotional resonance — “my beloved” is not shown but felt. Soft, sweeping gestures of warm crimson and pale gold collide with muted violets and ivory veils, as if love itself dissolves into air. Thick impasto strokes embody the pulse of closeness and loss, while faint, transparent washes suggest breath and distance. Textures shift between violent and tender, mirroring the human heart’s fragility. The painting feels like a heartbeat rendered in color — intimate, raw, and wordless.

Radiant Pulse channels the raw, tactile energy of sunlight. Built in thick impasto layers of golden yellows, ivory, and cool blue tones, the piece spirals outward like a living heartbeat of warmth.

#AbstractArt #Expressionism #blueskyart #cptsd #art
Edge of Becoming III captures the raw power and serenity of a moment suspended between chaos and stillness. Inspired by the meeting of dark volcanic sands and a surge of turquoise waves, the piece explores the tension between destruction and creation. Thick, sweeping strokes and layered textures evoke the ocean’s pulse — both violent and tender — embodying the eternal cycle of becoming and dissolving. It is an abstract reflection on transformation, liminality, and the beauty of surrendering to change. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

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.

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#Abstract #Expressionism
Edge of Becoming II captures the threshold between dissolution and creation — a suspended instant where the sea seems to breathe, fold, and reform itself. Deep indigo currents meet luminous waves in a dance of opposition: darkness and light, stillness and motion. The piece evokes transformation, the sense of something vast and unnameable coming into being from within the depths. Through layered strokes and flowing texture, the painting mirrors the fragile tension between chaos and serenity — the eternal edge where becoming never ends.

In Echoes of Light, the human face becomes a landscape of contradiction — calm yet trembling, luminous yet shadowed. The scattered stars under the eyes shimmer like fading memories, hinting at the resilience found within vulnerability.

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.

Infernal Bloom captures the volatile beauty of an internal explosion — the moment when destruction becomes transformation. The canvas burns with incandescent reds and molten oranges, erupting from a core of deep black and ash-gray. Thick impasto textures evoke the tactile violence of paint itself — as if the medium is alive, cracking open to release energy. It’s both a descent and a rebirth, a visual symphony of rage, resilience, and the strange grace of renewal born from chaos.

Veil of Defiance — an abstract reflection on identity, allure, and resistance.”

— The Asylum Art —
Art and words by Yves
#AbstractArt #Expressionism #BlackAndWhite
Veil of Defiance captures the tension between exposure and concealment — a portrait where poise meets inner turbulence. Rendered in stark black and white, the composition blurs the line between grace and chaos: the netted veil fractures into jagged textures, the hat looms like a symbol of control, while the cigarette becomes a whisper of rebellion. Each brushstroke is a gesture of resistance, a raw assertion of presence against the weight of disguise. The work stands as both shield and revelation — a defiant act of self-expression.

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.

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.
