About this work

This painting is a tight grid of small, repeating triangles. The colors are mostly deep reds and warm oranges, arranged in a pattern that looks almost like woven fabric. The shapes are sharp and clean, with no soft edges—just straight lines forming little triangles over and over. The way the colors shift from dark to light makes the pattern feel alive, even though there’s no clear picture. It’s just shapes and color working together. If you like this kind of bold, simple design, look up lithography next.
