Warm brown and taupe tones with dramatic rocky stone forms flanking the figure. Painterly and classical in feel. The figure and background feel genuinely integrated.

Deep navy and cobalt with rounded organic forms in the background — ghostly skull-like faces scattered through the dark blue ground. Figure is cool and pale against the haunted surround. Oceanic and eerie rather than overtly threatening. Dark and distinctly unsettling.
