“Cosmic Jazz”. The swirling black forms and vibrant color blocks evoke both musical improvisation and celestial movement.
This work shows clear influence from Joan Miró’s surrealist style, with its playful abstract forms and bold primary colors.
The composition features dynamic black spiral forms that dominate the canvas, creating movement and rhythm against a white background.
The artist employs a limited but striking palette of red, blue, yellow, and green geometric shapes interspersed throughout.
The spontaneous, calligraphic quality of the black lines suggests gestural automatism — a surrealist technique of drawing without conscious control.
Small details like asterisk-like marks and loose geometric forms add whimsy while maintaining visual balance.
The overall effect is one of musical notation or cosmic dance, with the floating shapes and swirling lines creating a sense of perpetual motion.
The painting successfully achieves formal sophistication and childlike spontaneity, hallmarks of mid-20th-century modernist abstraction.
It was just created. Acrylic on Canvas. Measure: 40x50 cm / 16x20 inches.
Thank you! Love you all!!
