About this work

This painting is a blur of colors and shapes. Bright yellows, blues, and greens float across the page. Black lines zigzag everywhere, like scribbles or cracks. Some areas look like faces or buildings, but they’re stretched and warped. The whole thing feels busy and alive, even though nothing is clear. The paint is thin and seeps into the paper in some spots, making soft edges. It’s not a picture of anything real—just shapes and colors playing together.
