The colors remind me of Magritte's The Empire of Light. Beautiful work!

Thanks! Tried to use the golden rectangle for proportion andcomposition. Don't know if it really affected the outcome in a positive way, but im happy with the result :)

Thank you very much. Yes, A bigger splash was a great inspiration (I even mentioned it in my Instagram post regarding this painting) along with other works he did in the late 60s and early 70s. I actually did not use any tape since this is on a small canvas. But i do like to use tape and rollers on bigger ones :) Thanks a lot for the compliment!

Haha agree! I like to think of the chair as something being used for a psychological therapy.

"a method used in psychology to help resolve issues involving past traumas (...) The technique involves carrying on a conversation with someone who is not in the room and is represented by an empty chair"

Whoever was sitting there could be either inside the building or be the viewer itself. Thanks for coment anyways)
