Horizontal verde-azul 1958

Ramirez Villamizar made Horizontal verde-azul with clean lines and a tight palette. The sharp edges and clear shapes give a sense of precision, but it's not sterile. There's a pulse, a kind of visual rhythm in the way the blue and green undulate. Looking at the surface, I can see the colors are laid down flat, without a lot of fuss. It's almost like a print, but I bet if you get up close, you'll see the subtle texture of the paint, maybe even a brushstroke or two. That one little green circle sitting inside the blue line feels crucial. It's like a pause in the pattern, a breath. Thinking about other artists who played with geometry and color, I'm reminded of someone like Carmen Herrera. Like her, Villamizar shows how much feeling can be packed into simple forms. It's a reminder that art doesn't always have to shout to be heard.
