Banked Ember, Mirrored Abstract in Red and Pink

A horizontal abstract of warped, flowing shapes in pink, purple, deep red and maroon, mirrored left to right. A bright yellow and orange glow sits at the bottom centre, and thin light contour lines trace every ripple. The shapes loosely suggest a face or mask, but nothing is clearly depicted.

Someone wants this piece for the single glowing yellow-orange form at the bottom centre. It sits against mirrored pink, purple and maroon ribbons that ripple outward like melted wax. Most red and pink abstracts are either soft washes or busy patterns. This one has a clear centre of light and a calm symmetry, so the eye lands on the glow and then travels along the fine contour lines. The shapes hint at a face or mask without becoming one, which gives a longer look something to find. Visual attraction alone is a good enough reason to want it.
