About this work

This painting is a mix of bold colors and sharp shapes. You see blocks of blue, yellow, red, and black stacked unevenly across a light background. Some lines are thick and dark, while others fade into the paper. The colors don’t blend—they sit next to each other like puzzle pieces. The brushstrokes look rough, almost like scribbles or quick strokes. The artist didn’t try to make it look real; it’s more about the colors and forms themselves. If you like this style, look up gouache to see how it works.
