Description from the seller
Do N-11 – Abstract Expressionist Painting by Retne
An energetic and vibrant composition that radiates rhythm and controlled spontaneity. Every layer of this large-format work captures the essence of dynamic motion — a balance between chaos and harmony that defines Retne’s abstract expressionist language. Do N-11 transforms pure energy into visual form, creating a sense of expansion and depth that invites continuous discovery.
Signed on the front and back. Certificate of Authenticity included and hand-signed by the artist – confirming originality and authorship.
