artistic balance
Composition's harmonious arrangement
Artistic balance is the arrangement of visual elements—color, shape, line, texture—so that no part of a composition overwhelms another.
Balance can be symmetrical, with elements mirrored across a central axis, or asymmetrical, with unlike elements creating equilibrium through visual weight.
The painting achieves artistic balance through its use of negative space.
