About this work

This painting shows a yellow shape with a rounded top, like a hood or a tent. Inside, there’s a rough, textured area with some green and brown marks that might be a person or object. The background is mostly white and green, with brushstrokes that look uneven and rough. The black X’s on the yellow shape stand out—no one knows exactly what they mean, but they add a strange, almost secret feel. The paint is thick in spots, giving it a bumpy texture. If you like this rough, bold style, look up impasto.
