I really like the artwork showed. The lines and geometric shapes in the pieces are very intricate and elaborate. It would definitely take a good amount of time to paint or draw because of how elaborate the pieces of artwork are.

The art is beautifully balanced and well thought out. Whenever there is a certain part that the artist wants you to see your eyes are guided with finesse and precision to that spot.
