This painting serves as a visual resolution, bringing together the themes of texture, abstraction, and symbolic storytelling. Vertically composed, the piece invites the eye to travel downward through layered color and meaning.

A deep reddish-brown block anchors the top portion, contrasting beautifully with surrounding golden-yellow and creamy white tones that evoke sunlight, sand, or ancient parchment. The palette suggests warmth and timelessness. Figurative elements resurface in the composition—most prominently, a graceful golden animal figure in the upper right, perhaps a deer or gazelle, modeled in textured impasto that carries a mythic quality. Across the surface, faint humanoid and creature-like forms in bronze and gold emerge like age-old engravings. On the left, horizontal maroon bands introduce a geometric counterpoint, providing balance against the organic fluidity of the surrounding textures. . In the lower half, accents of magenta, violet, and blue recall earlier paintings, adding vibrancy and continuity.
