Standing as a bold and definitive monument of contemporary modern abstraction, masterfully challenges traditional non-objective structures by converting physical graphic elements into a multi-layered, poetic statement within the field of international minimalist geometric illustration. Born from a search to leave aside the narrative figurative and reduce the image to shape and colour, the arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm where found imagery and sketches from her personal palette are recycled in a self-referential way. The vertical composition piles blocks of sharp red, olive, black, and navy fields, coordinating an elegant, structural constellation of hard-edged segments over an open white matrix void.
This series is born from a search to leave aside the narrative figurative and reduce the image to shape and colour. Starts with both images found as well as her own images, previous pieces, from her palette, from drawings, in a self-referential way.
