This image looks like a collage. It has bold red letters spelling out "METRO" in Russian. Above the letters is a giant megaphone and a crane. Smaller photos of people are pasted inside the letters. The background is mostly plain paper with a few simple shapes. The artist mixed real photos with hand-drawn elements. The megaphone might be a nod to communication or propaganda. The whole thing feels modern and fragmented. If you like this style, check out gouache to see how artists use it.
