About this work

This painting shows a plain white background with scattered colored dots. The dots are bright—red, blue, yellow, green, and black—sized small to medium. They’re not painted on but stuck on with short wooden dowels. The artist used real objects, not brushstrokes, to create the colors. Each dot casts a tiny shadow, making them look slightly raised.
