The art and design elements of line, shape, form, colour and texture aggressively mix up in this painting to compose the face of a lady. The eyes and nose are stylized into shapes and coils respectively. Three tribal marks in the form of oval shapes are positioned on the cheeks. Red, yellow, purple, blue and gray are the colours used in the painting. It is an abstract representation of a Yoruba woman, distinguishable by the tribal marks across her cheek.
