Jewel Totem, Mirrored Stained Glass Abstract

A tall, perfectly mirrored abstract made of rounded pebble and oval shapes outlined in thick black lines, like a stained-glass window. Deep maroon and navy cells stack down the middle and sides around a glowing green, orange and turquoise center. Yellow and lime striped bands run along both edges, and purple and magenta shapes fill the corners. Every cell is filled with soft marbled swirls of color.

A buyer wants this piece for its glowing, stained-glass look: thick black outlines around jewel-toned cells, each filled with soft marbled swirls. The strict mirror symmetry turns the whole composition into a tall, totem- or mask-like figure with a luminous green, orange and turquoise heart. Most colorful abstracts are loose or all-over. This one is ordered, graphic and backlit-looking, and it holds up from across a room and up close.
