This painting features a grid of 16 blue squares, each with a rounded rectangle inside and a vertical white stripe down the middle. A small blue circle sits at the top and bottom of each stripe, with the top circle slightly higher than the bottom one. The squares are arranged in four rows and four columns, with a blue border around the entire image. The painting's use of simple shapes and colors creates a sense of order and symmetry. The blue and white hues evoke a sense of calmness and serenity. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Ado Sato.
