This artwork builds on the abstract language of the first painting but introduces a more vertically structured and symbolic form. Set against the same deep maroon background, this piece features a tall, almost totemic central figure composed of interlocking, organic shapes in greens, blues, and golden yellows. The composition suggests the silhouette of a creature or a crowned figure, with a dynamic upward flow. The crown-like form at the top may represent a sense of royalty, heightened awareness, or a state of transformation. The internal composition is rich in layered textures, with embedded patterned fragments in earthy oranges, deep blues, and teals — these recall the symbolic or calligraphic patterns seen in the first image, perhaps suggesting continuity of cultural or spiritual motifs. The subtle blending and tonal shifts within each section create a sense of depth and curvature, lending the work a sculptural presence. The transitions of tone and shading within each part generate an impression of form and roundness, giving the piece a dimensional, sculptural effect. The patterned fragments along the figure’s “spine” resemble a central nervous system or a symbolic channel — possibly referencing energy flow, heritage, or internal evolution. Bright yellow and blue-green elements swirl around the central figure, bringing a dynamic sense of movement and visual rhythm to the composition. Unlike the more chaotic structure of the first painting, this one feels more composed, contemplative, and possibly ceremonial — a visual embodiment of balance, growth, or ascension.
