About this work

This painting shows a person lying on their stomach on a green surface. Their body is split into bold colors—red for the upper half, blue for the lower. The legs and arms stretch out, and the skin looks smooth with simple lines. The background is just a flat green shape with a white edge. The artist used a printing method called collograph, where layers of material are glued onto a plate to create texture. This gives the image its clean, almost blocky look. Look up Clare Romano to see more of her bold, colorful work.
