About this work

This painting shows a bright red background with a dark, stylized face in the center. The face has two large, rounded eyes with thick black outlines and swirling patterns inside. White lines trace the edges of the face, and the mouth is a simple, curved shape. The colors are bold—reds, blacks, and golds—with some green and blue mixed in. The face looks like a mask, with heavy outlines and flat shapes. The paint is thick in spots, giving it a textured look. The artist used sharp contrasts between dark and light areas. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
