The artwork features a black fabric backdrop with an intricate golden pattern woven throughout, resembling a Greek key or meander design. At the center of the composition, two gold-colored serpentine forms intertwine, creating a striking and symbolic focal point. The artwork's visual style exhibits a minimalist, abstract approach, with the repetitive geometric patterns and the intertwining serpents evoking a sense of ancient symbolism and mysticism.

The name P420 is inspired by Pantone 420, a universally recognized shade of grey known for its ability to serve as the perfect background, enhancing whatever it accompanies. P420 thus emerges as a platform whose primary aim is to embrace and elevate artistic ideas and expressions, fostering their harmonious coexistence within a context that supports, encourages, and celebrates diversity and innovation. Here, every voice can resonate powerfully and distinctly, much like a work of art standing out against the backdrop of Pantone 420.
P420 has been instrumental in the rediscovery of artists such as Irma Blank, Laura Grisi, Ana Lupas, and Stephen Rosenthal, collaborating directly with the artists or, when necessary, with their heirs or the Estates representing them.
