Heated Calm

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a bold composition of colors and textures. The left side displays a deep red square atop a black background, while a series of vertical stripes in shades of orange, yellow, and red run down the painting's center. The right side contrasts with a bright yellow field marked by crisscrossing dark lines. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
