Frank Galuszka Acrylic and Mica Painting “Perelanda” 1999

Beautiful large abstract acrylic and mica by the noted California artist Frank Galuszka. It is titled “Perelanda” from 1999. This painting is from a lovely Indian Wells estate. It had one owner. We’ve included a number of photos in slightly different lighting as it reflects light beautifully.
In good condition with some minor losses particularly to the Mica. There are some Mica pieces flaking around the edges.
Large scale work at 68 by 86 inches.
