About this work

This painting looks like a close-up of a rough, textured surface. The colors are mostly red and brown, with thick, uneven brushstrokes. Some areas are almost orange, while others fade into muted yellows. There’s a hint of green in the top corner, but it’s hard to make out details. The paint itself looks heavy and uneven, almost like it was applied quickly or with a palette knife. The word *"Flori"* is barely visible in the red section, which might mean "flowers" in Romanian. That could hint at a floral subject hidden under the thick paint. The messy texture makes it hard to tell what’s really there. If you like abstract, textured art, check out the technique: impasto.
