Marigold Mask: Symmetrical Orange and Green Abstract

A horizontal abstract of marbled, flowing color in orange, yellow, green and blue, mirrored left to right. The swirls gather at the center into a shape like a face or mask, with a red curved form below it. Green, frond-like arcs run across the top and turquoise loops sit in the lower corners.

Someone wants this piece because it stops you before you know what you are looking at. Orange, yellow and green swirls are mirrored exactly down the middle and gather into a shape that reads as a face or a mask, with a glowing red curve at the base. Most orange or colourful abstracts are loose washes or scattered shapes. This one has a centre, a figure, and a strong left-to-right balance that you can picture facing you from across a room. The pull is visual and immediate: saturated colour, glowing light, and the small surprise of finding a face in the swirls.
