Signo 1960

This is 'Signo' by Pablo Palazuelo, and it’s all about how simple shapes can be so evocative. It reminds me that art isn't always about fancy techniques; sometimes, it’s just about seeing something new in basic forms. There’s a playful balance between the solid black shapes and the negative space around them, and the off-white background gives it this subtle warmth. The way the shapes fit together is like pieces of a puzzle, but a puzzle that you can interpret in many different ways. It’s kind of like looking at clouds, you see something different each time. That little rounded rectangle nestled in the middle could be anything, a seed, a pebble, an eye, it’s all up to you to decide. Palazuelo reminds me a lot of painters like Joan Miró. Both artists are masters of creating a whole world with just a few well-placed shapes.
