Cosmic reflections – Torso I. Mixed media on paper, 100 x 65,6 cm.
In this original mixed media painting I have depicted a lying female torso, in front of a blue and white background which implies a vintage botanical pattern wallpaper.
The curving body has been occurred by interweaving figurative painting with computer generated geometric forms, in a rhythmic composition.
The work incorporates a color sensuality, as the torso curves with their austere black outlines guide the eye around the painting surface, revealing a colorful play of different polarities: warm and cold; light and dark;feminine and masculine; analog and digital; flat and three-dimensional; pragmatism and romanticism.
This vivid painting was inspired by the mystical belief of certain pioneers of Modernism that rhythmic forms in pure colors can reflect the forces of the cosmos.
