This painting is a tight grid of small, sharp shapes—red, blue, and white triangles and diamonds. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading or depth. The pattern repeats perfectly, like a puzzle with no gaps. The artist used a mix of printmaking and spraypaint, layering techniques to create this look. Tiny mistakes in the lines make it feel handmade, not mechanical. Try looking up etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints like this.
