About this artwork+
The painting presents a vivid, abstract composition with expressive colors and forms. On the left, there’s a vertical alignment that appears to resemble a bouquet of red flowers sitting atop blue and pink blocks; the blooms and their stalks bleed colors downward. The central and right sections of the piece feature a patchwork of textured blocks and panels in varied shades and patterns, including a notable depiction of a female silhouette in one of the squares. Dominating the upper right part of the canvas are two abstract floral forms, painted in white with centers in red and ochre, positioned seemingly floating above the mosaic of shapes. Bold strokes, drips and overpainting contribute to a sense of dynamic spontaneity and emotional depth in the artwork.
