About this work

This painting shows a swirling mix of shapes and colors. On the left, a blue, cloud-like form glows with red and yellow streaks. To the right, a dark figure holds what looks like a golden staff or tool. The background has buildings with columns, but they’re twisted and hard to read. The artist played with light and shadow in bold ways. The paint is thick in spots, making some areas pop off the canvas. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
