Surrealist Figurative Composition Painting

This is an original painting, likely acrylic or oil on a stretched canvas with a visible textured grain. The artwork features a complex surrealist or contemporary folk-art composition. In the foreground, two female figures with dark hair and stylized features are depicted; one appears with closed eyes holding a large yellow star-like shape, while the other is seen in profile with a similar star near her face. To the left, a vibrant orange and yellow flame is depicted with expressive brushwork. The center of the piece shows a large, arched blue architectural structure resembling a bridge or a wall with small glowing windows. Above this, a dark sky is populated by several floating, pale white masks or faces with minimalistic black facial features. The background includes a stippled or pointillist area representing distant lights or a crowd. The color palette is dominated by dark blue, black, and earthen tones, contrasted by the bright yellows of the stars and intense oranges of the fire. The brushwork shows varied techniques, from smooth blending on the faces to more impasto applications in the flames and architectural textures. There are no visible signatures or maker's marks on the front surface. The condition appears fair, though there is some slight surface dust and potential edge wear common with unframed pieces. The style suggests a late 20th or early 21st-century contemporary piece, possibly by an emerging artist or a high-quality student work.
