The leftmost monument is black and gold; the central one is red, black, and gold; the right one is red and black. These are all laid down on a background of soft yellow, creating a strong contrast.

Paper size: 22.5"H x 30"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles.
