About this work

This painting is made of bold, flat blocks of color. Two tall, red-purple shapes stand side by side, like figures or doors, with a blue and yellow triangle between them. The background is a mix of warm browns and cool blues, with sharp lines dividing the space. Nothing looks quite real—just shapes and colors pushed together. The thick paint gives it texture, almost like you could feel the brushstrokes. The colors clash but still feel balanced, with no clear focus. It doesn’t look like a portrait or a landscape—just pure color and form. Check out impasto to see how thick paint like this works.
