About this work

This painting shows three figures in a room with bold colors and sharp lines. The people are cut out from paper and placed against flat, bright backgrounds—blue walls, a red floor, and a window with orange trim. One person wears a hat and a checkered shirt, another has a striped hat, and the third holds a small object. The shapes are simple, almost like a puzzle. The mix of paper and paint makes the scene feel both real and stylized. The artist used collage to layer images, giving it a collage-like look.
