Description
This abstract artwork features a composition of muted, earthy tones and dramatic diagonal lines. The predominant colors are deep browns, greens, and blacks, creating a moody and atmospheric quality. The overall effect is one of depth and movement, with the sharp angular forms cutting through the shadowy backgrounds.
