About this work

This painting is a vibrant, circular composition with a central black-and-white pattern. Radiating from the center are red and yellow stripes, alternating in a spiral pattern. The background is a light beige color. In the top-left corner, handwritten text reads, "Sun is the hidden number 5 = 20 = 100 + its sequence Repeat of 11x20+100 = 320, thus add 44 = 5x20 = 100 16x20 = 320 27x20 = 540 48x20 = 960." Similar mathematical equations and notes are scattered throughout the painting. The artist's use of bold colors and geometric patterns creates a dynamic visual effect.
