Untitled
1986

A monochromatic artwork featuring an abstract depiction of a reclining figure with prominent, sketch-like lines creating a sense of movement and depth. The figure's facial expression is intense and the body is overlaid with swirling patterns and shapes that suggest a dynamic, almost turbulent energy. The piece is numbered and signed at the bottom, indicating it's part of a limited series.
