Baroque Chapel #3
1972

A surreal painting depicting an architectural interior with exaggerated proportions, featuring large, rounded columns in a salmon pink hue, ornate sculptures embedded in the walls, and a complex series of steps leading to a central platform. The perspective is from the bottom looking up towards a ceiling with a classic coffered design and two windows letting in soft light.
