Description from the seller

Description

Original abstract painting that presents an intense composition in deep reds, blacks and whites.
The piece combines layered textures, expressive brushstrokes and a powerful minimalist balance, creating a dramatic and contemporary atmosphere.

The dark vertical shapes at the center contrast with the luminous red background, while the white horizontal band adds movement and visual tension. This work evokes the spirit of Abstract Expressionism and modern contemporary art.

Perfect for modern interiors, loft-style spaces, offices, galleries or collectors seeking works with strong visual impact.
