“Let there be light,” God said; and forthwith Light
Ethereal, first of things, quintessence pure,
Sprang from the Deep; and from her native east
To journey through the airy gloom began…
John Milton

With this painting, the artist marks a turning point in her career, creating her first purely abstract work. The textures and depth of the acrylic reflect the fusion between her artistic sensitivity and her life journey, revealing a visual language shaped by experience and memory.
We are transported to a scene of creation and mystery, where the night seems to take on shape and texture. The background, dominated by deep blues and almost impenetrable dark greens, sets the stage for an eruption of warm tones—vibrant magentas, soft pinks, and coppery brushstrokes—that burst forth like a primordial fire.
It is a visual representation of the exact moment light breaks free from shadow, in an abstract choreography of great emotional impact. For the artist Esmeralda Barros, this canvas is a reflection of the visceral forces that inhabit the creative process.
This work functions as a mirror of our own dualities: the silence that hides passion and the darkness that inevitably gives rise to light. A striking painting, ideal for spaces seeking a piece of contemporary art with a powerful physical presence and a deeply expressive soul.

Intensity and elegance.
In this mockup, the painting Génese demonstrates how abstract art can anchor a luxury space. On the dark plaster wall, the thin brass frame dialogues with the metallic details of the console and lamp, while the canvas’s copper and magenta tones resonate in the cushions, creating a cohesive, mature, and deeply sophisticated atmosphere.
Commercial Space
The Art of Hospitality
The first impression of a journey begins at check-in. Bathed in the golden late-afternoon light streaming through large glass panels, the reception of this hotel was designed to offer an immediate sense of comfort and sophistication. Above the noble wood sideboard, the abstract artwork “Génese” serves as the space’s defining artistic signature—its deep shades of blue, magenta, and copper take on new life in the sunlight, creating a warm, intimate, and unforgettable atmosphere for arriving guests.

Between Salt and Fire
he painting reveals a new side in this Modern Coastal setting. The deep darkness of the blue and the magenta fire of the canvas create a dramatic and sophisticated contrast against the crisp white shiplap walls.
The thin white frame and soft natural light balance the composition, transforming the artwork into the centerpiece of a room that breathes the sophisticated serenity of a seaside sanctuary. Proof that intense abstract art can harmoniously coexist with lightness and organic textures.
Executive Office
Art in the Decision-Making Space
In this setting, the painting Génese emerges as an element of sophistication and intellectual focus. Its gold frame and the depth of its blue and magenta tones bring a vibrant yet restrained energy to the sobriety of the gray textured wall.
The artwork is not merely a decorative element, but an inspiring focal point. The contrast between the rationality of office design and the organic strength of the abstract painting grants the space an atmosphere of modern leadership, creativity, and absolute good taste.
