About this work

This painting is a mix of bold colors and rough brushstrokes. You see big blocks of yellow, red, and blue, with some green and brown streaks. The colors clash but also feel balanced, like shapes pushing against each other. The brushwork looks thick and textured, almost like the paint was slapped on. It’s not smooth—it’s messy in a way that still feels intentional. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
