V radosti (In Joy)

Description

Abstract Composition: Color came here all at once. Yellow, green, magenta, blue, and black dots, as if dust were being sprinkled into the light. The white edge of the paper is not a background here. It is the silence in which this joy stands.

Subject: a non-representational stain. No scene, no figure. Just a field of colors with an irregular edge, a signature at the bottom.

Style: lyrical abstraction. A gestural imprint / painting on paper, akin to a monotype. The colors meet both dry and in layers. Black is not a shadow; it is rhythm.

From a distance, a bright rectangle on a light-colored wall. Up close: texture, the rough edge of the patch, and places where the substrate shows through. It suits a bright room: a hallway, a dining room, a wall meant to come alive, not to feel somber.
