The Climb – Abstract Auras™ Original Painting by Robert MacDonald
This original Abstract Auras™ painting is created on fine art paper using Robert MacDonald’s proprietary Auraism™ method.
The Climb develops through layered movement, intersecting strokes, and rising directional energy. Chromatic passages of red, blue, yellow, and muted earth tones interact through shifting pressure and rhythm and form an emergent field that feels elevated and charged without referencing representational imagery. The composition unfolds through mastery-guided responsiveness and allows motion and tension to guide the surface rather than predefined structure.
The medium hand-burnished texture introduces a subtle low-relief that enhances depth and presence. After completion, the work is permanently laminated to a rigid art board for a flat and stable substrate suited for floater presentation. A tuned sealer and removable UV-protective varnish preserve clarity, vibrancy, and archival longevity.
Created in the MacDonald Gallery studio in Nashville, this painting is catalogued with full provenance and includes a Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity with matching holograms. The MacDonald Signature Collection™ floater frame is hand-finished in black satin with a clean shadow-line reveal that enhances the work without distraction.
Shipping: Free insured shipping to the continental U.S. Professional packing and crating included. Care instructions provided.
