Delphi
1959

A vibrant and abstract painting featuring a chaotic blend of colors and shapes. Dominant hues of red, blue, purple, and black intertwine with white and pink accents. The composition is filled with swirling lines, scribbles, and what appear to be abstracted figures. Some elements resemble human forms and faces, while others are purely gestural marks. The artwork is signed and dated at the bottom left.
