A striking vertical composition featuring a figure posed facing the viewer, its head slightly turned toward the lower left. The simplicity of the composition allows the expressive brushwork and vibrant pigments to take center stage. Rich warm hues of orange and sienna dominate the scene, counterbalanced by exquisite chromatic counterpoints of magenta, blue, green, violet, and red. The abstracted decorative elements envelop the figure, creating a dynamic interplay between form and background, resulting in a visually captivating tapestry of color and movement.
