About this work

This painting shows a dreamy, colorful scene with a mix of shapes and bright colors. On the left, there’s a dark pole with a round top, next to a building with small windows. To the right, a giant, soft-looking face with a pale green apple for a nose floats in a swirl of blues, reds, and yellows. The background has wavy lines and big eyes peeking out from the colors. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes to make the colors pop, almost like the paint is piled on. The face and apple look almost alive, but everything is stretched and warped in a strange, playful way. This painting is by Ramstedt, Yrjö—check out more of his work to see how he plays with shapes and colors.
