A mirrored image of a person with their head covered in a blue cloth against a red background, creating an abstract and faceless portrait. The person's head is tilted slightly downwards, and a thin gold chain can be seen hanging from their neck.
An abstract artwork featuring a blend of warm colors, predominantly red and orange, with a figure that appears to be in motion. The figure is somewhat obscured by the abstract shapes and brushstrokes, giving the impression of a dynamic, fluid scene. The artwork includes various textures and layers, with some areas appearing more opaque and others more translucent.
A minimalist ink sketch on a cream-colored paper depicting three women in vintage attire, with the central figure holding what appears to be a martini glass. The lines are fluid and suggestive rather than detailed, capturing the essence of the figures with a few strokes. The artwork has a signature in the bottom left corner and a title "Three Bathers in Monte Carlo" written at the bottom.
Abstract photo of fragmented mirrors with a subtle blue line where the edges meet, creating a disjointed reflection.
A monochrome image featuring a man in a houndstooth patterned suit and tie, with a serious expression. His face and upper body are overlaid with a white, dripping peace symbol, creating a stark contrast against the dark, smoky background.
Abstract painting with vertical drips and splatters in black, yellow, and pink on a pale blue background, creating an impression of a cityscape with tall buildings or spires.
A collage of black and white images with a central color drawing of a banana bunch hanging against a lattice background. The surrounding photos include a close-up of a banana bunch, a garden lantern, and underbrush. The artwork is titled "The Yard Show" and is numbered and signed by the artist, dated 2009.
