Art Analysis
A rhythmic architecture of light and geometric pigment
In this portrait-oriented painting, Costa explores the intersection of rigid geometry and the organic unpredictability of watercolor. Each triangle acts as a vessel for pigment, where varying saturations create a sense of depth and movement across the surface. The overlapping shapes produce secondary hues, suggesting a complex transparency that mimics the way light filters through stained glass or architectural prisms.
By leaning into the illustrative quality of the medium, the artist maintains a clean, graphic clarity while allowing the natural textures of the paint to breathe. The result is a balanced composition that feels both deliberate and airy, inviting the viewer to trace the subtle shifts in tone and the sharp intersections where color meets form.
The piece breaks down its subject into a series of non-representational shapes and bold color fields.
The use of thin, layered washes allows light to pass through the pigment, creating a glow typical of the medium's interaction with paper.
Clean lines and deliberate color blocking define the lunar surface, bridging the gap between fine art and modern design.
