A large mixed-media painting organised as interlocking fields of saturated pink, green, blue, yellow and orange. Curving outlined shapes, soft-edged colour patches and smaller figure-like or plant-like fragments remain distributed across the surface without resolving into a single continuous scene.

Early Paintings

140715A broad red field occupies the upper right of the canvas; a large blue-violet upright form stands near the centre against pale green, yellow and pink passages, with smaller clustered forms at lower right. The image remains fragmented rather than resolving into a continuous scene. It is one of the first paintings, made by Marika and Anton together.
140815 This Cold Is Killing MeA wide horizontal field is built from overlapping passages of turquoise, yellow, pink, orange and blue. A dense cobalt mass occupies the lower left, while a red-orange vertical form rises at the right and pale rectangular areas interrupt the upper centre. Drips, scratched and drawn lines, repeated short marks and loose brushstrokes cross the surface; pale violet handwritten Cyrillic text remains visible along the lower left edge.
