Pintura 153 1948

Raul Lozza created this painting, titled Pintura 153, with a striking array of shapes and colors. Notice how Lozza plays with geometric forms and their interaction within the canvas: these shapes create a dynamic visual field, challenging our perception. The composition consists of several distinct geometric forms arranged against a uniform yellow background. These shapes—rendered in green, red, and purple—appear to float. Lozza’s strategic placement invites the eye to explore the relationships between these elements, disrupting any sense of a singular focal point. These elements don’t just exist on the canvas; they engage with the space around them. The shadows cast by each shape suggest a three-dimensionality, a subtle depth that contradicts the flatness of the painted surface. This tension between flatness and depth is a key element. Through semiotic structures, Lozza challenges the traditional notions of representation. Consider how the geometric shapes interact with the idea of space, perception, and representation. Lozza’s work does more than present an image, it invites you to question the very nature of seeing.
