Original artwork description:

The chromatic effect obtained is achieved by superimposing several successive layers of color. The first layer of color includes coffee grounds, which give roughness and allow the retention of the color applied on top. This way of applying the color creates the feeling of the walls being successively painted, year after year until the paint layer became so hard that the paint started to come off. This effect can also be discovered in this painting. The overlap of colors in certain areas allows the visualization of the first layers enriches the pictorial effect and gives the preciousness of the pictorial surface. The work is painted on linen.
