In Geometric landscape XXIV, Costa explores the intersection of rigid calculation and the spontaneous flow of nature. By utilizing both the heavy body of oil paint and the translucent delicacy of watercolour, the artist builds a scene where sharp angles define the horizon while soft gradients suggest the atmospheric depth of the outdoors. The portrait orientation emphasizes the verticality of the terrain, pulling the eye upward through a calculated arrangement of shapes that mimic hills, valleys, and light play.

This illustration moves beyond mere representation to treat the landscape as a puzzle of interlocking planes. The interplay of textures creates a tactile experience, where the matte finish of the pigments grounds the abstract geometry in a recognizable sense of place. It is a quiet meditation on how we perceive the environment—not just as a vast expanse, but as a collection of distinct, harmonized fragments.
