About this work

This painting shows a room corner with a brown floor and a white shelf. The shelf holds a few folded clothes, a small cup, and a white box. Above it, the wall is painted in bold blue with rough circles and red-brown lines. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like texture you could feel. The colors feel raw and uneven, not perfectly smooth. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this works.
