Told
1990

This is an abstract painting featuring a mix of dark and earthy tones with bold white and black lines creating a sense of movement and depth. The central figure appears to be a stylized, possibly human form, surrounded by circular and swirling patterns that give the impression of dynamic energy. The background is textured with various shades of brown, tan, and gray, while the figure and surrounding elements stand out with darker hues and stark white highlights. The artist's signature and the year '90 are visible at the bottom of the canvas.
