About this work

This painting looks like a city seen from above, but it’s all broken into sharp, colored blocks. The colors are mostly teal, purple, and gray, with some white and yellow mixed in. Buildings and streets are split into jagged pieces, like a puzzle that doesn’t quite fit. The way the colors clash and the lines don’t match up makes it feel a little off—like a map that’s been twisted. It’s not a real place, just shapes and colors rearranged. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
