This painting is a mix of bold colors and sharp shapes. On the left, there’s a red square with a white rectangle cutting through it. A black shape with a white circle sits below, like a pipe or a tool. To the right, two tall blue forms stand out against a yellow background, with white lines and dots on them. The artist used flat colors and clean edges, almost like a puzzle. The way the shapes fit together feels both simple and a little off-kilter. If you like this style, look up gouache to see how it works.
