A colorful abstract painting featuring a central figure that resembles a starfish with a human-like form, set against a backdrop of vertical brushstrokes in a variety of colors. The painting is bordered by a white margin with the artist's signature at the bottom right corner.
A colorful abstract print featuring concentric circles with maze-like patterns and a central figure that appears to be a stylized, masked human form with outstretched arms. The artwork has a dynamic, almost tribal aesthetic, with bold outlines and earthy tones complemented by splashes of red and blue. The print is signed and numbered at the bottom.
A graphic artwork featuring a stylized figure with a circular yellow head and a body composed of geometric shapes and patterns. The figure stands against a grey background with the word "HELP" written above in colorful, patchwork letters. The lower part of the figure appears to be submerged in a blue watery surface at the bottom of the image.
