The artist uses bold black lines to define the forms in the work, and their curved nature creates a sense of movement that brings the work to life. When viewed in person, the artist’s masterful use of thick impasto captivates, as it creates fascinating textures that bring a unique dimension and a stimulating level of depth to the painting.
