Abstract
"Every 15 cms, every 16 cms (dash of one cm long)" is a compelling example of Minimalism and Abstract art. The painting features precisely spaced, uniform dashes—each just one centimeter long—arranged with meticulous measurements, creating a rhythmic visual pattern. Its emphasis on simple forms and exact proportions reflects the core principles of Minimalism, encouraging viewers to focus on symmetry and spatial relationships. The work explores the intersection of order and repetition, inviting contemplation on patterns in both art and everyday life, and exemplifies how minimal elements can evoke complex visual and conceptual reactions.
