About this work

This painting is a vibrant, abstract piece featuring a woman with dark hair and a green dress. She's sitting in a chair, facing right, with her left arm resting on the back of the chair. The background is a mix of colors, including pink, blue, brown, and green, with wavy lines and shapes. The woman's face is blurred, and her body is simplified into geometric forms. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the soft colors and gentle curves creating a soothing atmosphere.
