Abstract
"Abstract Composition (SF 61)" captures the essence of abstract art through dynamic, non-representational forms that evoke emotion and movement. Drawing inspiration from abstract expressionism, the piece emphasizes spontaneous brushwork and textured surfaces. Its creation process may involve techniques similar to lithography, transferring vivid imagery onto paper or canvas. While not tied to a specific place, the painting reflects the vibrant yet isolated atmosphere of neighborhoods like Bayview–Hunters Point in San Francisco, an area historically marked by industrialization and resilience.
