Angelo Moriconi

Artist, Italian, active 1956

The image shows an abstract composition of repeating vertical Y-shaped forms and angular blocks in shades of brown, black, white, and hints of red. The shapes create a pattern resembling a dense assemblage of stylized trees or forks, branching upward. The composition suggests a crowded forest or a cluster of directional signs, inviting viewers to explore its complex formations.
