About this work

This painting shows two groups of people standing in front of a rough, blocky building. The sky is dark with a pale, blurry moon. One group wears dark clothes, the other work pants and overalls. A red flag hangs on the right side. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving everything a rough, unfinished look. The title *Lupeni 29* hints this might show a moment tied to a place or event, but the painting itself is more about the raw, uneven style. The colors are muted except for the flag’s bright red. If you like this bold, textured style, try looking up impasto.
