Abstract Mixed Media Painting by Guiza, 1997

This is an original abstract mixed media painting, signed 'Guiza /97' in the lower right corner, indicating the artist and the year of creation (1997). The artwork is characterized by a vibrant and complex interplay of colors, predominantly shades of blue, turquoise, purple, and pink, accented with touches of red, orange, and black. The composition features a central, somewhat organic, rounded form that seems to be layered over and intertwined with geometric lines and shapes, including rectangles and grids. There's a notable textural quality, especially visible in the upper right and central areas, which appears to incorporate small, raised circular elements or dots, adding a tactile dimension to the visual experience. The colors are applied with varying levels of opacity, suggesting layers of paint and possibly other media, creating depth and a sense of movement. Some areas show brushstrokes, while others hint at sponging or other application techniques. The painting is housed within a simple, narrow dark frame, likely made of wood or metal, which complements the artwork without distracting from it. The condition appears to be good, with no overt signs of damage, fading, or wear visible in the provided image; the framing also looks intact. The overall aesthetic points to a post-modern or contemporary style, characteristic of late 20th-century abstract art. The quality of execution, particularly the integration of diverse textures and a sophisticated color palette, suggests skilled craftsmanship.
