Abstract Composition in Ochre and Plum by Elvira Fustero

Description
Elvira Fustero’s gouache painting features an abstract composition structured through layered planes of ochre, plum, ivory, and black. Broad, deliberate brushstrokes intersect with linear marks, creating balanced spatial relationships across the surface.
