About this work

This painting looks like a rough, blocky scene with sharp edges and flat colors. The shapes are jagged—some look like furniture, others like abstract forms. Blues, browns, and whites dominate, with a few darker spots mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. The title *Kellot* might hint at a Finnish word for "cottage" or "small house," but the painting doesn’t show one clearly. Instead, it feels more like a sketchy, broken-down version of a room or objects. If you like this rough, textured style, look up impasto next.
