About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a person’s face and neck. The colors are mostly red and pale yellow, with rough, uneven lines. The person’s mouth is open, like they’re singing or shouting. The artist used a printing method called lithography, which lets them layer colors this way. The edges of the face fade into the background, making it feel less like a photo and more like a sketch. Look up lithography to see how it works.
