Molten Sun Mask, Mirrored Yellow Abstract

A tall abstract image in glowing yellow, orange and cream, with blue, red and green accents. Swirling, curled shapes are mirrored left to right and top to bottom around the center. In the middle, dark purple almond shapes and a pale green-gold area read like an abstract face or mask. The surface looks smooth and glossy, with a rippling, kaleidoscopic feel.

A collector wants this for its glowing, sun-filled yellow and orange, set against cobalt, red and emerald accents, and for the strict mirror symmetry that makes the swirls read like an ornamental mask or face at the center. Many bright abstracts are loose and chaotic. This one is balanced, pulsing and formal, like a kaleidoscope or heraldic pattern, with a glossy, liquid finish. Looking at it is a pleasure in its own right, and no deeper reason is needed.
