This painting shows a rough, textured surface with bold colors. There’s a blue shape at the top that looks like a hat or bowl, and a pale circle on the right that might be a fruit or a face. The background is mostly pinkish-brown, with some dark lines and smudges. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. The title, *Coș cu fructe*, hints this might be a basket of fruit, but it’s hard to tell. The style feels loose and expressive, not polished. The paint is layered in some spots, giving it a tactile look. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
