Visual Summary

Brief Description

A multi-headed, multi-armed blue figure with a fierce expression, surrounded by flames, with smaller figures

Detailed Description

The artwork is a vertically oriented painting, presented within a dark blue mat. The central and largest element is a blue figure, depicted with multiple heads and numerous arms. This central figure is seated with its legs spread, its main body a deep blue, and its limbs a lighter blue. It has a fierce expression with wide eyes, an open mouth, and fangs, and wears a crown adorned with skulls. Its many arms extend outwards, holding various objects. A large, vibrant orange and red fiery aura emanates from behind the figure. Below the central figure, it appears to be trampling smaller, prostrate figures. Above the central figure, arranged in two horizontal rows, are nine smaller figures, each enclosed within an orange-rimmed, cloud-like halo. The top row contains five figures, and the row directly below it has four. These figures vary in color, posture, and number of arms; some have fierce expressions and multiple limbs, while others have calm expressions. Below the central figure, another nine smaller figures are arranged in two horizontal rows, also within orange-rimmed halos. The upper row of these lower figures contains five, and the bottom row contains four. Similar to the upper figures, they display a mix of fierce and calm expressions, with diverse colors and arm counts. The background features a blend of green, blue, and orange hues.
