About this work

This painting shows a small, rustic hut in a rural landscape. The hut is made of rough-hewn wood and has a sloping roof. It's surrounded by greenery and sits on a hillside. The painting has a warm, earthy tone, with lots of browns and greens. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the scene a sense of movement and life. The painting is called "Bordei" and is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of impasto, you could check out his other works.
