Untitled

1986

A monochromatic artwork featuring an abstract portrait of a person with prominent eyes and expressive facial features. The image includes sketch-like lines, swirls, and splatters, suggesting movement and a sense of depth. Elements of the background appear to be loosely defined architectural or interior shapes. The piece is numbered and signed by the artist in the lower margin.
