This painting is a grid of small squares. Each square has a faint, blurry shape inside—like a shadowy figure or object. The whole thing sits on a black background, making the squares stand out. The squares are all the same size and shape, but the images inside them are slightly different. The artist used soft colors and a light touch to fill them. Check out Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali) (1933-2013) to see more of her work.
