This painting looks like a collage of flat shapes and colors. There’s a building with arches in the top left corner, a patterned tile wall, and a small window with a "FRANCE" label. A round, pale shape takes up most of the right side, with a dark, spiky object inside it. The colors are mostly soft—beiges, light blues, and a bit of green. The artist used real printed paper and board, then added watercolor and pencil. It’s not a realistic scene—just shapes and textures stuck together.
