Smiling Mask

Description

This vivid portrait presents a bold and unsettling smile against a swirling backdrop of purples and reds. The exaggerated, triangular eyes and wide, toothy grin convey a mix of playfulness and unease. The bright yellow shape in the corner adds an unexpected contrast, enhancing the surreal quality. This piece invites reflection and would bring a distinct character to any collection.

Artist

I create bold, abstract works blending vivid colors and dynamic forms to evoke emotion and mystery. My pieces invite reflection through playful yet unsettling figures and serene landscapes, bringing energy and thoughtfulness to any space.
