This surreal painting features a large, stylized figure rendered in flowing black and pink tones against a backdrop of rust red, cream, and blue. The composition is dominated by curved, organic shapes, with long black flowing lines suggesting hair or movement. A striking red form appears to drip or flow downward from the central area. The lower portion of the painting contains a pool-like blue shape with abstract white forms floating within it. The title "vespertine lips" - referring to evening or twilight - is reflected in the dreamy, nocturnal quality of the piece, with small star-like dots scattered throughout the dark areas. The overall effect creates a sense of fluidity between figure and landscape, with boundaries blurring between forms in a dreamlike manner.
