Ember Mask, Symmetrical Yellow and Red Abstract

A symmetrical abstract pattern in yellow, deep red and black, made of curling, overlapping ribbons of colour. The mirrored shapes form what looks like a face or mask, with swirling eye-like spirals at the top and a mouth-like curve at the bottom. The surface looks smooth and glossy, like liquid.

A bold, instantly readable image that stops you at the first glance: mirrored ribbons of yellow, dark red and black form what looks like a glaring mask or creature face. It has the graphic punch of a kaleidoscope pattern and the glossy, liquid depth of layered translucent colour. Someone with a plain wall and a love of strong colour would choose it over a generic abstract because it has a presence, and because the face emerges from pure pattern for each viewer.
