About this work

This painting features a geometric pattern of triangles, drawn in black ink on a light beige background. The triangles are arranged in a repeating sequence, with each one connected to its neighbors by a single line. A closer look reveals that the lines are not perfectly straight, giving the painting a sense of handmade craftsmanship. The overall effect is one of intricate, interconnected shapes that seem to shift and move as you look at them. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to check out the art of Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt).
