Additional Information

"Horizon" is a captivating modern abstract piece that mesmerizes with its vibrant palette and dynamic composition. The artwork stands at an impressive 60 inches wide, 72 inches high, and 3 inches deep, making it a substantial presence in any space. Crafted using Acrylic PMMA and Mirror, the work comprises a series of layered, translucent panels arranged with an elliptical aura on a flat surface.

The transparent materials employed in "Horizon" invite an engaging interplay of light and color, imbuing the artwork with a subtle three-dimensional quality that enhances its depth and complexity. This element is particularly effective in drawing the viewer into the heart of the work, encouraging a unique and transformative experience akin to a sunset's unfolding beauty. Through its innovative use of materials and color, "Horizon" creates a compelling visual narrative that is both immersive and ethereal.
