What makes this painting so appealing?

I see there are only 3 striking colors, with variations where the paint mixes. He only uses big strokes and shapes. There is hardly any rendering. He uses dynamic directions that gives the painting movement so there is a lot of interesting stuff to look at.

What I would try replicating:

Use 3 colors

Use big shapes that lead the eye

Use dark darks and light lights

Make sure the composition is interesting

Great advice!

Thanks! This is what I try to do for myself. I find art that inspires me and figure out what I like about it and how I can do it myself.

Please don't disappear, I need people like you, thank you infinitely 🙏🫂🎨

No problem!
