This painting shows two bold blocks of color stacked like steps. The top is red, the middle a bright blue, and the bottom a dull green. The shapes are simple but uneven, like a puzzle with missing pieces. A thin white line splits the blue block down the middle. The painting is actually two canvases joined together. The colors feel flat and solid, not like a scene but more like a puzzle or a game. Look up César Paternosto to see how he used color in other works.
