About this work

This painting is all jagged shapes and rough brushstrokes. Black, white, and a few bright yellow splashes fill the canvas, making it feel chaotic. The lines look sharp and uneven, like something torn or scratched into the surface. The artist used tempera paint mixed with sand, which adds a gritty texture. That’s why the colors look thick and uneven—it’s not smooth like oil paint. Next, look up tempera to see how this old technique works.
