Artwork Description

This abstract is of a soft calming base of pastel hues of lavender,peach,soft blue and pale pink.over the soothing background there are bold, energetic accents of strong primary colours,vibrant blue,sunny yellow and deep red.these accents take the form of linear angular shapes that seem to crisscross or form geometric patterns contrasting with the softer backdrop.the linear elements create a dynamic energy leading the viewer’s eye across the canvas in different directions giving the piece movement.
