About this work

This painting is mostly blank white, with a few simple black shapes and lines. There’s a tiny stick-figure person on the right, arms outstretched like they’re holding something. Above them float three black ovals—two small, one big—like floating objects. In the top left corner, a rough sketch of a flower with a face sits quietly. The background looks messy, almost like scribbles or erased marks. The black shapes stand out against the pale, uneven surface, making them feel light but heavy at the same time. If you like this mix of simple shapes and loose lines, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more work like this.
