The woman on my painting is enjoying a painting by Barnett Newman, a key American Abstract Expressionist known for large-scale 'Color Field' paintings featuring vertical stripes called 'zips,' designed to create a meditative, spiritual, and sublime experience. His work emphasizes emotional impact over representation, using pure color to evoke feelings of presence, transcendence, and human existence.

Who's Afraid is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the front and back.

Shipping takes about two weeks no matter where you live in the world. You'll receive your painting safely packaged and ready to install immediately.

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. I would be happy to answer all of your inquiries personally.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
