Untitled
2010

A contemporary artwork featuring a complex overlay of images and abstract elements. The background consists of a realistic painting of a hand holding a circular object, with a distorted reflection in water. Overlaid on this are energetic squiggles and drips of paint in red, yellow, and black, creating a sense of chaos and movement. A stylized, orange and green outlined figure of a head and arm appears to float in the lower section, adding to the surreal composition.
