'Surfaces meeting' is an intriguing piece that falls into the category of Abstract art, forgoing the representational and classical motifs prevalent in historical art. The artist takes a bold, contemporary approach, using a variety of techniques and materials. The use of Tempera brings a rich opacity and texture to the work, which is further enhanced by the artist's use of Watercolor. These mediums converge on the Paper, creating an intricate interplay of layers, colors and shapes. This Abstract painting excels in its ability to visually represent the fascinating meeting of surfaces.
