About the work

A vibrant explosion of red and blue geometric forms fills the canvas, with layered triangles, spirals, and fragmented architectural shapes built up in thick, energetic impasto strokes. The composition pulses with raw energy, blending warm crimson tones in the lower half against cooler grey and blue passages above.
