"Study to 'Striking Rock'" is an intriguing work that combines elements of Naïve art (primitivism) and Surrealism. The artist employs Pastel on paper to create a lively, textured surface reminiscent of a sketch and study that captures the spontaneity of the scene. The painting appears as a preliminary study for a larger, more elaborate work, emphasizing the raw, unpolished qualities characteristic of naive art, while hinting at the subconscious depth found in surrealist approaches.
