About this artwork

Made in 2022, this painting is actually composed entirely of blue pigments.

The color Prussian Blue, which appears almost black to the eye, is actually translucent; its vertical prismatic texture allows light to reflect off the surface of the canvas, accentuating the luminosity of the lighter pigments.
