About this work

This painting shows a blurred face against a bright red background. The face looks like it’s made of thick, uneven brushstrokes—almost like the paint was slapped on. The colors are mostly dark greens and browns, with the red background standing out sharply. The paint is so thick in spots that it looks almost three-dimensional. This technique is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can see the texture. Check out impasto to see how artists use paint like this.
