Abstract Composition 1970

Sonia Delaunay made this abstract composition, and it’s like she’s conducting a visual symphony with colours and shapes. The colours feel so intuitively chosen, don’t they? As if she were letting her feelings guide the way. The surface has this incredible texture, achieved with these close-knit lines. Look closely at the square filled with cross hatching, its density creates a feeling of depth. The colour feels like its vibrating on the surface. It’s not about hiding the process; it’s about making it part of the art. Delaunay, like many artists, wasn’t afraid to play with form and colour, just as Picasso did. Delaunay embraced the ambiguities, inviting us to bring our own experiences and interpretations to the canvas. Isn't it amazing how a simple arrangement of shapes and colours can spark so much thought?
