                                                            Cubism, fragmentation and geometry have  always  fascinated me. Studying the picture plane and what happens between a line, a shape and color in a painting is a journey unto itself of incredible findings and wonderful surprises.                                                 Composition in Black, White and Grey                                                       Acrylic on MDF  (diptych)                                                                 60 x 80 cm ; each 40 x 60 cm                                                                      U$ 1,700 (both)                                                            I played with tthe  image to show different orientation/ tone variation.                                                                                                                                Cosmic Dynamic
