Brilliant reds, oranges and purples in a geometric abstraction that includes asymmetrical pyramid shapes are the highlights of this unique abstract painting. At the right, neutral pastels show through from the background. A unique and unusual painting with both modern and vintage touches.
"I was playing with geometric shapes in this piece. I laid down a grid using pencil, placing an asymmetrical triangle over a symmetrical one to give tension to the composition. I decided to fill the shapes on the right with the palest pastels, in order to contrast with the vivid reds, oranges, magentas and blues on the left. I wanted the effect of the pastel shapes being revealed behind the vividly colored ones.
