This painting is mostly blue with a few bold shapes. In the center, there’s a rough circle made of black and white. To the left, a dark blob sits alone. On the right, a brownish square looks like it’s floating. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was slapped on. The colors are simple but the way they clash feels intentional. If you like this style, check out impasto.
