Abstract Narrative Oil Painting of Figures

This artwork is an original oil or acrylic painting on canvas, characterized by a vibrant and expressionistic style. The composition features at least two human figures: a larger, central face wearing what appears to be a patterned hood or cowl in shades of blue and white, and a secondary figure positioned horizontally at the lower edge. The artist utilizes a bold, high-contrast color palette dominated by primary and secondary colors, including deep reds, yellows, purples, and blues. The application of paint is thick and gestural, suggesting a contemporary or mid-to-late 20th-century origins. Abstract geometric shapes, such as a circular wheel-like form on the left, add a sense of movement and symbolic complexity to the scene. The work is housed in a modern, dark brown or black wooden floater frame, which creates a gap between the canvas edge and the frame to emphasize the objecthood of the painting. There is a visible artist's signature or marking on the right-hand side, though it is not immediately legible from the image provided. The condition appears to be excellent, with the canvas taut and no visible surface cracking or pigment loss. The craftsmanship is expressive and focuses on emotional resonance through distorted forms and color theory.
