Modern Abstract Mixed Media Painting on Paper

This is a large-format modern abstract artwork, likely executed in mixed media which appears to include gouache, acrylic, and perhaps oil pastel or crayon on a heavy paper substrate. The composition is divided horizontally into zones, featuring a muted upper sky or background area in tones of grey and gold, a broad middle band of saturated pink, and a central focal point consisting of an architectural or organic mound-like form. This lower form is densely packed with energetic, gestural brushstrokes in shades of magenta, teal, grey, and white. The application of paint varies from thick, opaque strokes to thinner, translucent washes. The piece is housed in a contemporary silver-toned metal frame with a wide, white textured linen-style mat under glass. The style is characteristic of late 20th-century lyrical abstraction, possibly dating from the 1980s to early 1990s, judging by the vibrant color palette and framing style. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible foxing, buckling of the paper, or significant fading, though a close physical inspection for a signature (often found in the lower corners or on the reverse) would be necessary to identify the specific artist. The craftsmanship indicates a professional level of handling with intentional use of negative space and layered textures.
