About this work

This painting shows a rocky mountain landscape split into bright, uneven blocks of color. The sky is chopped into yellow, pink, and green triangles, while the ground shifts between purple and teal. Jagged cliffs and a waterfall sit in the center, but everything is flattened into bold, unnatural shapes. The colors clash in a way that feels unnatural, almost like a map gone wrong. The artist used sharp lines to separate the blocks, making the scene look both familiar and strange at once. If you like this kind of bold, colorful abstraction, check out lithography to see how the printmaking process creates these crisp edges.
