Suprematistic composition. White in white. (Feeling of fading away.) 1927

Kazimir Malevich made this artwork, Suprematistic composition. White in white. (Feeling of fading away.), and when I look at it I think about my studio, and the dance of making a painting. I imagine Malevich, poised with his brush, carefully layering shades of white to conjure these floating forms. Each stroke, a delicate decision, building depth and texture into the whiteness. You know, painting white on white is a challenge – it's like trying to find the edge of a cloud! Look how the shapes seem to emerge and recede, as if the canvas itself is breathing. There's something so ethereal and meditative about this piece. You can see Malevich’s interest in pure abstraction, a realm where feeling and form become one. It relates to the work of other painters like Agnes Martin or Robert Ryman, who are similarly interested in reduction and simplicity. The act of painting becomes a quest, a feeling fading away as the title suggests. It encourages us to slow down, to contemplate, and to discover the infinite possibilities within apparent simplicity.
