Mutation

A vibrant and colorful abstract painting featuring a central muscular figure in a red loincloth, surrounded by several other figures with exaggerated and stylized features. The background is a mix of organic and geometric shapes, with elements that suggest a natural landscape. The brushwork is dynamic, with a sense of movement and energy throughout the composition.
