The artist belongs to a generation of artists who consciously operate with the language of geometry and color, using structure to create emotional visual experiences. "Colors of the Day" is a geometric painting composition maintained in the trend of rhythmic abstraction. The painting is built from repeating vertical and horizontal sequences of color stripes, which create the illusion of vibration and movement of light in space. Each color stripe evokes associations with a particular moment of the day - from the cool tones of morning to the warm registers of sunset. In this work, the title "Colors of the Day" takes on the form of a pulsating, optical meditation on the rhythm of time.
