I think the problem with the numerals is that you're going for mathematical beauty and precision but they're not painted precisely. You almost need templates or something. Get them razor sharp. THEN push them back.

I agree with Cindy that glazing a mid tone neutral over the background shapes would help unify the painting and bring the focus back to the figure. Nicely done figure, though!
