About this work

This painting looks like a wild, tangled mess of colors and shapes. Thousands of tiny pills—red, yellow, brown, white—are stuck to a black background. They’re packed so tightly they look like leaves or feathers, all pointing outward from the center. Some pills glow bright, others fade into dull spots, and tiny white dots pop up like stars. The weird mix of pills and paint makes it feel both messy and precise. The artist actually glued real pills onto the panel before painting over them. It’s like a science experiment turned into art.
