In Geometric landscape XII, Costa strips away the traditional clutter of the outdoors to reveal the underlying architecture of the land. By layering acrylic and watercolour, the piece creates a dialogue between opaque blocks of color and soft, bleeding washes that mimic the shifting light of a valley or ridge. The vertical composition draws the eye upward, mimicking the ascent of a mountain path while maintaining a strict, abstract logic.

This work avoids the literal, opting instead to communicate the feeling of nature through sharp angles and deliberate intersections. The interplay of textures suggests the varied surfaces of the physical world—rough stone, damp grass, and distant mist—all contained within a disciplined, geometric frame. It is a quiet meditation on how we perceive the organic through the lens of human order.
