Observations
Across all four renders, distorted faces and figures emerge from dense, visibly built-up paint, with broad directional strokes, scratches, and forceful red marks. Deep blue-black shadows oppose saturated orange, red, and pale highlights, producing an anxious, confrontational mood with surreal facial distortions and heavily worked surfaces.
