About this work

This painting is a grid of small, dark shapes on a blue background. The shapes look like rough figures, some standing, some bent over, all outlined in black. A red border frames the whole thing, with a messy, textured look around the edges. The figures feel like they’re trapped in boxes, each one slightly different but all part of the same pattern. The colors are bold—red, blue, and black—with some faded spots where the paper shows through. If you like this style, check out Raúl Milián.
