The muslin fabric's silky smooth surface facilitates unpredictable and exquisite reactions from the paint. A harmonious blend of rich blues and oranges is achieved through a complementary color scheme, and the juxtaposition of washy and bold flat colors adds an exhilarating variation to the surface. The visual language of the painting is composed of organic shapes and flat color fields, drawing inspiration from abstract artists of the 1950s and 1960s and the improvisational nature of their work.
