Marigold Mask, Mirrored Abstract in Green and Red

A horizontal, mirror-symmetrical abstract in vivid green, red and yellow. Flowing, translucent shapes form a mask-like face at the center, with brow-like curves, a wavy mouth line and a scalloped lower edge. An ornate swirled green border frames the whole design.

Someone wants this piece because it stops the eye before they know what they are looking at. A glowing yellow centre sits inside a red band and an ornate green border, and the whole thing is mirrored left to right. It reads as a mask or a face, but nothing in it is a literal portrait. The colour is bold and saturated, the surfaces look like glossy enamel or poured paint, and the swirled border gives the eye somewhere to wander. It suits a buyer who wants a confident, colourful, slightly strange piece rather than another soft neutral abstract.
