Untitled 1955

This untitled painting was made by Lolo Soldevilla, but there's no date available for when. The artist seems to be thinking about the ways to construct seeing and thinking with geometric shapes and a simple colour palette. Soldevilla uses flat blocks of colour, and I'm really drawn to the way the painting is divided into two distinct halves, a sunny yellow and a more muted tan, as this division emphasizes the material aspects of the painting. The textures appear smooth, and the colours are opaque, applied with a certain flatness that almost feels graphic. Look closely at the way the circles and squares interact. They seem to float on the surface, creating a playful sense of depth. This feels like a conversation with artists like Malevich or Albers, where simple forms are used to explore the possibilities of colour and space. It's a reminder that art is an ongoing dialogue, and there are no fixed meanings, only open interpretations.
