Savarin
1982

A vibrant abstract painting with a dynamic composition of textured brushstrokes in white, black, blue, yellow, and orange hues, framed by a purple border. The artwork features a central burst of light-colored vertical lines suggesting movement or growth, set against a backdrop of chaotic yet harmonious color splashes, all on a white background.
