This painting shows big, flat blocks of color. There’s a red square on the left, a black rectangle cutting across the middle, and a small blue square near the bottom right. The rest is mostly gray and white, with a yellow strip near the center. The shapes are sharp and clean, like puzzle pieces. The artist used simple lines and bold colors to make it feel balanced. The black lines divide the space without any shading or blending. Look up Piet Mondrian to see how he built this style.
