About this work

This painting looks messy but interesting. You see a tangled mix of red shapes—like branches or roots—spread across a pale green background. Some areas are smooth, while others have rough, uneven strokes. The colors are mostly muted greens and grays, with the red standing out sharply. The title *Concentrare X* hints this might be about energy or focus, but it’s hard to tell. The way the lines twist and overlap gives it a sense of movement, even though it’s a print. If you like this style, check out impasto—a technique where paint is laid on thickly to create texture.
