This is an abstract painting that depicts two principles merging Martian and Venetian archetypes. This cohesion is seen through an architectural constructivist paradigm.  The union here, is their desire for each other, a balance of nature and the constructed form. The male aspect is represented by the angular orange and rusted forms and the female by the placid greens and blues that diffuse into the background.

“Abstract Grid Composition”, is a total of 36 individual paintings each at 8 x 8 inches. Arranged in this photograph vertically but not necessarily a fixed outcome. Its arrangement is variable according to the desired positioning.​​​​​​​
These works are the distillation of two paintings' previous paintings. The palette has come on to develop this series of paintings. The palette and pictorial dynamics are still evocative of the original paintings retaining the sense of moving through an urban landscape.
