Viaje En Círculos Imaginarios 1950

Sandu Darie made this painting, Viaje En Círculos Imaginarios, using primary colors and a brown ground. Just imagine Darie making this, maybe lost in thought, moving intuitively, almost unconsciously, across the canvas. For me, the painting feels like a journey, kind of like a dreamscape. It’s got this playful circle shape, but it’s all broken up into geometric shards. What I like is how the black shapes are used in a kind of punchy way against the brown background. It’s not just about shapes though; it’s about how Darie puts them together, making us look at things from different angles. It reminds me of some of the early abstract painters who were trying to find new ways to express ideas. Making paintings is like a big conversation between artists, with each person adding something new. Ultimately painting is about feeling, seeing, and thinking, and the kind of freedom to interpret things in your own way.
