These paintings are square canvases divided into 9 squares each. Each square is assigned a different color, 3 primary (red, blue and yellow) ,3 secondary colors(green, orange and purple) and black, white, and grey. They also have no designated top or bottom.

These works are trying to exploit this phenomena by exclusively playing to only those 3 parts of the brain. Vertical lines, horizontal lines and color in pursuit of a purely non-objective experience.
