description

Mediums: gouache on paper.
Location: private collection.

Performed in ocher-orange hues, the painting is a cluster of abstract forms, which makes it look like a complex maze or tangled tree roots. Due to the intricate interweaving and layering of these elements in the work, the viewer gets a feeling of constant movement, as if each of them is a living creature or some part of the living. In various forms that occupy the entire surface of the canvas, certain viewer sees something different: a bird with a long nose, a snake, or a human skull. The absence of the name of the painting is intriguing and gives room for imagination.
