The central form suggests the silhouette of a duck in motion, its body constructed from interlocking organic curves outlined in strong black contours. The vibrant blue central shape anchors the composition, while the surrounding orange, red, and yellow forms create a rhythmic interplay that evokes feathers, motion, and energy without resorting to literal representation.

The wings, simplified into two elongated red forms, rise vertically like stylized flames. A large yellow element on the left balances the composition, acting almost like a glowing counterweight. The background transitions between lavender, blue, and soft turquoise tones, giving the central figure the illusion of floating in an open, luminous space. The high contrast between the black outlines and the smooth gradients of color emphasizes the graphic strength of the image, reminiscent of stained glass or bold contemporary illustration.

I love this piece because it perfectly captures your language of abstraction while keeping a clear figurative hint — a duck, but reimagined through pure shape, line, and color. The character feels both playful and monumental, with an almost mythic presence. The clean edges, the vibrancy of the hues, and the sculptural feel of the forms make it instantly memorable and visually impactful.

Created in acrylics on canvas, the work showcases smooth, blended surfaces and deep saturation, allowing the colors to feel alive and dynamic. The 36 x 36 in square format enhances the sense of balance and symmetry at the heart of the composition. See less
