This Abstract painting is consited of only 2 valours and 1 color. A Triad of colors depicting the move from Chaos to order, or vice versa. It also can be mounted in any order or angle.. It symbolizes the move from a certain chapter in my life to another. I was in a certain psychological state while painting it that influenced my style.

Hello! I am a self-taught painter, though I like to think of myself as a natural-born artist. Painting runs in my blood—my father and grandfather were both painters, so art has always been a part of my world.
