Red Dice - Original Oil Painting - Game Night Art - 4 inches

A small roll of the dice with a huge impact of color and light.

"Red dice" is a mesmerizing original oil painting that captures the complex way light travels through translucent objects. The composition features a single vibrant red die with crisp white pips, rendered with thick, confident brushstrokes that define its sharp edges and glassy surface.

The magic of this piece lies in the shadow. The die rests on a light, textured pastel background and casts a deep teal and greenish shadow that is filled with "caustic" light—bright red refractions where the light has passed through the red plastic and onto the surface below.

Painted on a ⌀10 cm (⌀4 inch) circular handmade primed wood panel, this artwork hides a warm secret: a yellow underpainting. This hidden base layer provides an internal glow, making the red of the die feel even more intense and luminous. Alai’s signature impasto technique gives the piece a wonderful tactile depth, making this small circular gem a standout addition to a game room, a studio, or a colorful gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Masterful Light Study: The painting perfectly captures the difficult-to-paint phenomenon of light refracting through a translucent material.
• Vibrant Complementary Contrast: The use of deep teal for the shadow against the bright red of the die creates a modern, high-energy visual vibration.
• Unique Circular Format: The 4-inch round panel offers a porthole-like view into a world of color, making it a unique and collectible shape.
