Victor Candell

Ascendant
1952

This is an abstract painting featuring a complex array of shapes and forms in various shades of blue, white, and black, with hints of yellow and green. The composition is dynamic, with elements that suggest mechanical parts, architectural structures, and possibly figures, all interwoven in a seemingly chaotic yet harmonious manner. The brushwork is expressive, adding texture and movement to the piece. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
