Several Monograms
1986

A graphic artwork featuring a silhouette of a chess piece, possibly a queen, in the center with a bright halo-like glow around it. The background is a gradient from dark to light blue. Surrounding the silhouette are various stylized letters and symbols in different colors and fonts, including a red tulip with a green stem and leaves. The image has an abstract and modern feel.
