About this work

This painting is a long, narrow scroll made of layered paper and colors. You see faint blue shapes, black scribbles, and patches of purple and brown. Some areas look like sketches or writing, while others are solid blocks of color or textured like fabric. The edges are uneven, and the whole thing feels like it was pieced together by hand. The artist used a mix of printing methods to build up the layers, almost like a collage. It’s not a single image but more like a story spread out across the surface. If you like this, check out lithography to see how it works.
