Executed in richly textured mixed media, the composition unfolds through a complex interplay of lavender, mauve, slate blue, soft gray, and earthy undertones, punctuated by subtle flashes of chartreuse and warm rust. Vertical and diagonal gestures intersect across the surface, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension, while translucent washes reveal traces of earlier marks beneath.

The artist’s use of scraping, overpainting, and atmospheric layering lends the work a deeply tactile quality, inviting close inspection. The overall effect is both lyrical and architectural—suggesting urban rhythms, memory, and passage of time without resolving into a fixed narrative.

Balanced yet dynamic, this painting works equally well as a contemplative focal point or as part of a curated modern or contemporary collection. Signed by the artist, it reflects Stein’s mature abstract vocabulary and her sensitivity to texture, depth, and tonal harmony. See less
