About this work

This painting is a wall of tiny, bright dots. The dots are packed closely together in every color—red, blue, yellow, green, pink. They blur into a soft, busy field with no clear shape or edge. The colors shift as you move your eyes, making the whole thing feel alive. The dots are all the same size, but their colors mix in your eye. This trick makes the image look almost like a cloud or a swirl. It’s a printed picture, not painted by hand. Check out Peter Young for more work like this.
