About this work

This image shows a close-up of tangled, wavy hair in deep blues and greens, with streaks of red and orange light cutting through. The hair looks almost alive, like it’s moving. At the bottom, you can just make out a small earring and part of a dark shape—maybe a shoulder or a shadow. The painting is made from a color photocopy, which gives it a strange, glowing quality. The light and dark colors mix in a way that feels both soft and intense. If you like this style, look up The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like it.
