This abstract composition showcases a vibrant interplay of organic, eye-like forms and bold gestural marks. Swirling red translucent bands sweep vertically across the canvas, layering over a deep, dark ground populated by numerous oculiform shapes in shades of cerulean, emerald, and yellow. The central focal point features a large, stylized eye with concentric rings of white and blue, framed by the sweeping red curves. Typical of the artist's expressive style, the work utilizes a rich palette and dynamic layering to create a sense of depth and rhythmic movement. The piece is housed in a simple black frame with a gilt inner liner.
