About this work

This painting shows a big, flat color wash in soft yellows and light blues. Near the center, there’s a small, uneven shape—like a wobbly square or a piece of paper—with a mix of orange and yellow inside. The edges of that shape fade out into the background. The whole thing feels simple but a little off-kilter, like something you’d see if you looked at a blank wall for too long. The artist used a method called *lithography* to make this print, which involves drawing on stone and pressing ink onto paper. If you like this, check out lithography to see how it works.
