The black square
In this painting, the artist uses the shapes of plane geometry, circles, triangles, rectangles and fragments of them. In this rigorous two-dimensional composition, the quality and the intrinsic meaning of each element is emphasized to enhance, through the placement of geometric elements, the whole picture.
The horizontal line gives off a warm sense; the vertical one, cold; the point, silence and stillness.
The line, succession of points, is dynamic; the curve is materially unstable, but it is the most stable spiritually as a circumscribed space. Yellow is hot and irritating, and relates to the triangle and the acute angle; the blue is cold, severe and relates to the circle and with the obtuse angle; white is silence that contains power, while black is silence without a future. In this way he creates pictorial compositions closely related to those of music that cause in the observer emotional relationships similar to those experienced by the artist.
