This painting is all straight lines and flat colors. You see blocks of white, gray, and bright colors like red, green, blue, and yellow arranged like a puzzle. Some sections are tiny rectangles, others are wider bands. The edges are sharp, and the colors sit side by side without blending. The colors don’t mix—they’re clean and separate, like a map or a diagram. There’s no shadow or depth, just flat shapes against white space. Next, look up Alfredo Hlito.
