About this work

This print shows two tall panels side by side. The left side is dark purple with golden lines and shapes—like a curtain or cloth with strange symbols. The right side has a mix of diamond shapes in gray, green, and yellow, with a small figure near the bottom. The gold lines on the left look hand-drawn, almost like a map or a secret code. The right side’s shapes feel geometric, but the colors are soft and blended. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints with acid and metal plates.
