8 color fields — acrylic on paper 32 x 32 cm 2019

This is a series of acrylic paintings sized 32 x 32 cm on bamboo paper. These paintings are paradigmical, in the sense that their premises and composition depends to a large degree upon decisions made by reference to a series of digits of the number pi in hexadecimal formulations. Each paintiing is made up of 8 fields of color, painted in various directions across it covering the entire. In this series the direction of each stripe, its color, and location, are determined by pi. The paint is mixed with water and medium to make each layer very thin and transparent, thus making the resulting image visibly multilayered. After finishing the picture is varnished with acrylic varnish to make the surface glossy and to enhance the color variation.
