Item description: The composition is highly geometric, creating a sense of depth and perspective. Lines crisscross and radiate outwards from a central point, giving the impression of a tunnel or a swirling vortex. The lines are various thicknesses and are composed of blocks of color. A prominent feature is a rectangular structure, positioned centrally in the painting, seems to recede into a perspective tunnel, extending inwards to the center of the painting. The color schemes and patterns suggest a 3D view or a visual illusion. The painting consists of a wide range of colors, including bright, saturated hues of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples.
