Interspersed within the colorful mayhem are black and white accents that add contrast and depth. The composition is complex, with overlapping forms and spontaneous marks that contribute to the sense of movement and intensity. The use of layering and the juxtaposition of different textures create a rich, multifaceted visual experience, making the artwork visually engaging and thought-provoking.
