About this work

This painting shows a red, glowing dome with a rough, bumpy surface. Above it, a dark arch frames a burst of fiery orange and black brushstrokes. The colors are thick and uneven, like molten metal or a hot sky. The texture looks almost three-dimensional, with paint piled high in places. It feels raw and urgent, not polished. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
