About this work

This drawing shows overlapping geometric shapes stacked in layers. The colors are simple: black, blue, brown, and red outlines against a light beige background. The shapes look like floating boxes, some tilted, others flat, creating a sense of depth without any real-world objects. The artist used clean, precise lines to build this puzzle-like structure. Every shape connects to another, making it feel both organized and a little confusing at first glance. If you like this kind of abstract drawing, check out Gillian Wise.
