Throne of Color
A bold acrylic on canvas that merges figurative distortion with expressive color fields, this striking composition places a poised nude before an ornate chair. Strong contour lines, saturated blues, reds, and gold accents create a theatrical, modern presence with echoes of Fauvist and expressionist painting.
