About this work

This painting shows a bright white building with a flat roof and red trim. The walls are plain, with three small barred windows on the lower floor and two larger ones on the upper level. A big green tree stands in front, and the ground is a mix of light brown and gray tiles. The sky above is a solid blue, with a few quick brushstrokes of clouds. The artist used bold, flat colors and simple shapes, almost like a sketch. The building looks clean and modern, but the style feels a little old-fashioned. If you like this kind of straightforward, colorful style, look up Engonopoulos Nikos.
