An abstract geometric design with blocks of yellow, blue and orange-red.

A perfect square is subdivided into nine smaller square or rectangular blocks of varying size. Each block is precisely rendered at right angles and filled with color with some light brushstrokes visible. There are three blocks each of light blue, bright yellow and red-orange, arranged so that no two blocks of the same color are touching but interlock in a harmonious balance. There is a wide margin of cream colored paper surrounding the entire design.
