Abstract Expressionist Collage in Acrylic on Paper

Bright, saturated abstract painting with collage by California-based artist Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). Bold red, yellow, orange, and blue create a dynamic composition. Accents of white add a strong contrast and balance. There are a few elements of collage from other paintings, which adds depth and texture.

Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Paper size: 22.5"H x 22"W
