Description: “Leading Lights” presents a cosmic and underwater-like scene where colorful orbs appear suspended in a dynamic swirl of deep blue and green hues. The composition features bold circular forms in orange, green, and lavender, which contrast against the darker, undulating background. These glowing shapes evoke a sense of motion and direction, resembling guiding lights in an abstract universe.

The artist uses intricate black lines to weave the composition together, enhancing the sense of flow and energy. Textural brushwork and delicate white detailing around each form lend an ethereal, otherworldly quality to the piece.

This evocative work combines elements of abstraction with a celestial or aquatic theme, offering a contemplative, almost meditative experience for the viewer. Perfect for collectors of mid-century modern art or those seeking a piece that inspires curiosity and wonder.
