“Yellow” is a modern oil painting that grabs attention with a bright yellow block in the top-right, standing out on the canvas white. Layered brushstrokes create texture, highlighting the contrast of light and shadow. Below the yellow, a simple skeleton is drawn, adding a stark touch. This combination invites thoughts about life’s fragility and vibrant aspects within it. “Yellow” tells a powerful story, exploring the balance between vividness and the somber in an obscure way. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on the simple imagery and form a more personal relationship.
