Savarin
1982

A colorful abstract painting featuring a central motif that resembles a coffee tin labeled "Savarin" with paintbrushes sticking out of it. The background consists of haphazardly arranged, multicolored diagonal lines creating a sense of chaotic energy. The bottom of the artwork displays a dark area with red scribbles, and the entire composition is bordered by white space.
