The formal structure is anchored in the verticality of the brushes and the fan-like opening, which generates a balanced compositional tension. The box that holds them acts as a solid, dark base, a visual anchor at the center of the composition. The thick brushstrokes, the pasty texture of the oil, and the visible gesturality bring energy, while the acrylic-treated background provides contrast and luminosity.
The use of color — warm pinks with orange and gray undertones — not only creates a soft atmosphere, but also allows the brushes, with their muted tones and residual pigment, to stand out without any need for drama. The material treatment of the surface emphasizes the physical nature of the painted object, while also referring to the painting process itself.
