About this work

This painting shows a character sitting on a white block, with their back straight and their head tilted slightly to the right. The character is painted in shades of orange and brown, with a few touches of blue in the background. The character's body is made up of geometric shapes, with clean lines and sharp angles. Their face is not visible, but their posture suggests a sense of calm and contemplation. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to emphasize the character's figure.
