Ember Mask, Symmetrical Abstract in Yellow and Red

A horizontal abstract image in saturated yellow, orange and dark red, mirrored exactly across a vertical center line. Curling, flame-like shapes and densely speckled red clusters surround a glowing central column, and the overall pattern suggests an ornate mask or face. The surface mixes fine granular detail with smooth, glossy swirls.

Someone wants this piece because it is a hot, saturated, perfectly mirrored image that changes as they look at it. At first it reads as flame-coloured pattern. Then a face, a mask or an ornate emblem appears down the centre line. Ten other red-and-yellow abstracts give them colour. This one gives them a figure to find, and that mirrored 'someone looking back' is what stops the scroll.
