About this work

This painting is mostly red and dark blue. The red looks thick and rough, like it was slapped on with a brush. There are big, wavy shapes in the middle, and smaller red marks scattered on top, almost like floating bits. The paint is dry and powdery, not smooth. It’s not a finished look—it feels more like a sketch or a quick idea than a polished picture. If you like this style, check out impasto.
