Jawta Afnan: Mocha Tides

Mocha Tides

2026

Acrylic on wood

12” × 12”

"My painting uses a warm beige background with a few dark brown swirls. I wanted to create a simple, abstract design that shows movement and flow. The contrast between the beige and brown gives the painting a warm, calm look while allowing the swirls to stand out."
