About this work

This painting shows a bold, geometric design inside a circle. Two tall red shapes stand side by side, with orange blocks tucked between them. Around the edges, there are small rectangles labeled with numbers and Cyrillic text. The background is mostly gray, and the whole piece has a rough, hand-painted look. The text at the top reads like a title in Russian, and the numbers might refer to something specific, but it’s unclear. The bright colors and sharp lines make it feel modern and simple.
