Creation of the pictures with unmixed colors

It is a confrontation with a plan. It's like a game - like chess.
There is a plan.
One color makes a move - a piece places itself on the square.
Another color responds; takes over the game.
Another color responds by making a new move on the square.
Two colors become a third.
A new situation arises, which again has the character of a challenge.
The player reacts by placing another color, possibly by painting over it.
Composition as a playful process; color chess!
Only the previous move creates the space for the behavior of the next color.
The game changes direction - a new course is heralded.

All colors and shapes open up their own universe - depending on their power and relevance.
Something disputed with the others, something taken away, something added - enriching?
It will make the progression visible throughout the picture - it is on its way.
A seemingly balanced situation that creates tension and expectation, without one color or form having left the field.
Color or shape has left the field; even the most restrained color or figure
has influenced the process - the others have had to respond.

If it turned out well, the result is a stalemate with a recognizable progression that tells the story with tension.

Here's to a new game! Marius D. Kettler
