A stylized architectural painting featuring elongated arcade-like arches outlined in cobalt blue, white, and gilded accents. Each arch is vertically stretched with expressive brushwork, while a central, tubular blue form sits within the middle of each arch, bordered in white and highlighted with gold. The arches are edged with raised gold lines that lend a sense of gilded grandeur. The composition evokes a modern reinterpretation of classical architectural arcades, infused with movement, depth, and painterly texture.
