Popas (Popas în timpul refugiului)

About this work

This painting shows a group of people bundled in heavy coats and hats, gathered closely together. The colors are mostly dark—deep blues, browns, and grays—with a few bright spots like a yellowish cloak and a red sleeve. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the scene feel busy and lived-in. The faces are blurred, but the focus is on the crowd’s warmth and closeness. The artist used bold, uneven strokes, almost like quick sketches piled on top of each other. If you like this style, look up impasto.
