Yours

This is a painting of three abstract figures engaging with each other. The image is composed of bold, black outlines on a light background. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner with exaggerated facial features and gestures. On the left side, two figures appear to be in close conversation, with one whispering to the other. To the right, another figure with a patterned garment seems to be listening or engaging with the first two, with a hand raised. The space is divided with strong lines that suggest a compartmentalized interior with some abstract elements.

Conversation
