Glowing orange, coral red and pink meet lavender, peach and pale grey-beige tones in “Sambaen” by Randi Rosa. Deep burgundy and almost black passages create contrast, particularly along the left side and towards the lower right. Small golden details brighten the layers of colour and bring additional life to the composition.

Broad, sweeping brushstrokes alternate with broken impressions and fine incised marks. A pale peach area opens at the centre, surrounded by denser clusters of warm and cool colours. Curves and changing strokes give the painting a lively rhythm without forming a clearly defined figurative subject.

Randi Rosa accompanies the work with a story about intending to think something profound about the meaning of life, or at least whether oats with milk count as dinner. But instinct takes over: arguments fly out of the window, doubt is handed maracas, and intuition claims the dance floor. The deep thought is never completed, but a spirited painting emerges instead. The story gives the movement of colour a humorous connection to letting go of control and following intuition.
