About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a zebra's face, made from cut and pasted printed paper. The zebra's eyes and nose are visible, and its black and white stripes cover most of the image. The zebra's face is the main focus of the painting, with its eyes and nose standing out against the striped background. The use of printed paper to create the image gives it a unique texture and visual interest. The painting's use of black and white stripes to depict a zebra is reminiscent of the technique of chiaroscuro, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
