About this work

This painting shows a man in a light brown suit and tie, holding a small device that looks like a flip phone. Behind him is a green wall with a pattern of teardrop shapes, and a dark blue wall with the same pattern. A mirror reflects his back, and there’s a vase with a single flower on a table to the left. The artist used flat colors and simple shapes, giving it a cartoonish but serious feel. The man’s face is blurred, which makes him feel more like a character than a real person. Check out the gouache technique to see how it creates this mix of bold colors and soft edges.
