Untitled at 2775883
c. 1982

A vibrant, expressionistic drawing of a humanoid figure with stylized deer-like ears and closed eyes. The ears are colored with bright red and white hues, surrounded by bursts of green and yellow, suggesting a dynamic, almost firework-like energy. The face is rendered in shades of pink and red with a serene expression. The background is a mix of dark and earthy tones, creating a stark contrast with the luminous ears.
