1950

A vibrant, abstract artwork featuring a central figure that resembles a flower composed of various textured and colored shapes against a background with a sunburst pattern at the top and etched lines throughout. The flower has petals in shades of red and blue with intricate patterns, and the background has earthy tones with a river-like form on the left side.
