Every line, point, sign or trace is characterized by one or more tonal / plastic variations that define its shape and confirm its existence.
The opposition, the contrast, as well as the positive and negative extremes, the informatic zero and one, etc., can generate a code through which the reading of meanings and grasping of information from the visible and no-visible world are possible. Contrast envisioned as an organic whole, but also as the result of an action that limits an expansion and affirms unity, as a single or as an individual.
The “Contrasts” theme is expressed from a formal-aesthetic and physical point of view, as well as by the biological, human, political, social and psychological perspective.
