This painting shows three simple, blob-like figures standing side by side. They’re bright pink with black dots for eyes and no other details—just smooth, rounded shapes. The background is a flat, deep orange color, making the figures stand out. The figures look almost like stick figures but softer, with no arms or legs—just a few curved lines. The artist used crayon on colored paper, which gives it a rough, sketchy feel. Next, check out Carlos Mérida to see how his other works compare.
