This abstract painting from the 1980s reflects a deep engagement with form and precision. A geometric composition of intersecting planes in shades of black, gray, and white creates an angular, almost architectural feel. The palette, muted yet sharp, emphasizes the stark contrast between the solid dark masses and the sharp, luminous white shapes, producing a tension between light and shadow. Compared to artists like Ellsworth Kelly or Kazimir Malevich, this work leans toward minimalism but retains a textural complexity that distinguishes it.

This abstract painting from the 1980s reflects a deep engagement with form and precision. A geometric composition of intersecting planes in shades of black, gray, and white creates an angular, almost architectural feel. The palette, muted yet sharp, emphasizes the stark contrast between the solid dark masses and the sharp, luminous white shapes, producing a tension between light and shadow. Compared to artists like Ellsworth Kelly or Kazimir Malevich, this work leans toward minimalism but retains a textural complexity that distinguishes it.
What sets this painting apart is its quiet restraint, where every shape feels deliberate, echoing the artist's aim for conciseness and elegance, as inspired by Manet’s philosophy. The luminous white, carefully rendered against the dark surface, becomes an active element within the space, capturing light in a way that feels intentional and calculated. It’s this balance between luminosity and form that gives the painting a unique spatial depth, inviting contemplation and close inspection.
