Description: The embellished figure enriches an image of the process of creation. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism symbolising the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The artist employs traditional proportions to contain the colours, which thus float free. The receding curves are intertwined in a glorious send-up of celebration. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of images strong in meaning and emotion.

``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea''
[Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
