Small abstract shapes dance in the top left hand corner, while some of the larger leaves are filled with multicoloured shapes as well. The centre of the flower has multiple white details, drawing the eye back from time to time.

This artwork is a vibrant, semi-abstract portrait of a horse, emphasizing rounded, fluid forms.

The horse is rendered in a warm spectrum of oranges, corals, and terracotta reds, using overlapping curved planes to create a sense of fullness and life. The horse is depicted with its head held high and its tail swept upward in a playful, spirited curve.

The background is a textured, sky-blue field with visible brushstrokes that swirl around the subject, creating a high-contrast, energetic composition. The cool blue of the sky makes the warm tones of the horse appear to radiate light and heat.

This painting is a stylized, semi-abstract depiction of a horse, created using bold geometric planes and flat color blocking.

The subject is rendered in a palette of cool blues, ranging from soft slate and turquoise to deep cobalt, giving the form a sharp, graphic quality. The horse is positioned with its back to the viewer, its neck gracefully arched as it turns its head back.

This cool-toned, modern composition is set against a solid, vibrant yellow background that features visible, tactile brushstrokes, creating a high-contrast and eye-catching piece.

This artwork is a bold, semi-abstract depiction of a horse in mid-leap.

The horse is rendered in a sharp, fragmented style using various shades of green, from pale mint to deep forest. Its form is captured in a moment of intense physical exertion, with its legs tucked tight and its tail whipped upward, creating a sense of coiled power.

The background is a saturated, fiery red, applied with heavy, circular brushstrokes that radiate outward from the horse. This high-contrast, complementary color scheme creates a visual vibration, emphasizing the speed and aggression of the movement.

This still-life painting is a contemporary, geometric take on a classic subject. Using a bold, hard-edge style, the mandarins are broken down into vibrant planes of orange, saffron, and gold, giving the fruit a tactile, architectural quality.

Set against a deep, contrasting background in royal blue, the citrus pops with an intense, luminous energy. The composition focuses on the heavy, rounded weight of the fruit and the sharp, jagged green of the occasional leaf. Visible brushstrokes add texture to the flat color blocking, creating a piece that is both minimalist and full of life.
