This contemporary abstract landscape is executed in a heavy impasto technique on stretched canvas. The work depicts stylized, vertical desert plants, resembling ocotillo, set against a dynamic background of yellow, red, and blue tones. The artist utilizes thick, gestural applications of paint, likely applied with a palette knife, creating a rich, tactile surface. The painting is indistinctly signed in the lower right corner with initials appearing to read CH followed by a two-digit date. The canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher with the sides finished in black paint. The verso displays the unprimed canvas support and a piece of green painter's tape with handwritten notations. Condition: The artwork is in excellent condition. The paint surface is stable with no signs of craquelure, flaking, or paint loss. The canvas remains taut on the stretcher frame. There is no visible surface dirt or evidence of repair.
