In brooding mood

📝 Description

This painting portrays a solitary figure seated with knees drawn up, arms wrapped around them, and head resting forward — a posture of deep thought or emotional reflection. The figure is placed within a stark black square, symbolizing a personal mental space or an inner world.
A delicate string extends upward from the figure, attached to a small red kite floating freely above. The contrast between the still figure and the drifting kite suggests a quiet longing for release or the persistence of hope.
The background is alive with vibrant yellow and green patterns, adding a strong sense of energy and movement, balancing the stillness of the central subject.
