Bright, saturated abstract painting by California-based artist Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece began as a monoprint - paint was applied to a panel and then pressed into the paper. Then, additional layers of paint were added on top in blue. The under layer is mostly red and black, with some yellow accents. The blue shapes have a striped pattern.

Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Paper size: 19"H x 16"W
