This painting shows a black background filled with white lines and shapes. There are swirling curves, dots, and circles that seem to float and connect. Some parts look like they’re stretching upward, while others curve inward, creating a sense of movement without clear edges. The artist used gouache, a paint that’s water-soluble and can be layered. The white stands out sharply against the dark, making the lines feel almost electric. Next, check out gouache to see how this paint works.
