Geometric Impressionism

A style built on two spaces: the impression and the structure.

The manifesto

The Architecture of Emotion

Geometric Impressionism combines the sensuality of Impressionism with the structure of geometric abstraction.

The painting contains two spaces: the geometric element and the landscape (object).

The geometric element contains a necessary, strict structure, uniting the primary geometric forms.

The combination of two spaces – the action expressed in the geometric element and the object (landscape or portrait) containing the impression – creates a new perception. We use the geometric element to transform the emotion of Impressionism into action, movement, and activity. We connect two spaces that exist separately in life – experiences, emotions, impressions, and action, purposeful activity.

Reality and actuality are given the opportunity to coexist. Thinking and understanding are united in action. The background, object, and geometric element enter into a dialogue with one another. Thus, the objects in the painting acquire symbolic content, referring us to the world of abstractionist ideas.
