About the work

Painted on a circular canvas, this richly layered composition merges warm golden and orange tones with a dense cluster of calligraphic symbols, geometric marks, and vivid colour accents that radiate from a luminous central focal point. The dark olive-green base grounds the swirling energy above, creating a compelling contrast between light and shadow.

Acrylic

A fast-drying, water-based paint developed in the twentieth century. Versatile and vivid, it can mimic oil or watercolor and suits bold, flat color — a favourite of many contemporary artists across the region.
