De Stijl Pumas Project

image

This artwork was inspired on the art movement called “de Stijl” and on Piet Mondrian’s model.

I used black lines to make the rectangle and square divisions, and the use of the primary colours is of great importance in the presentation of this art work.

Then I fused the concept with one of my favorite subjects, Pumas. As you can see, I cut the logo and I pkaced it randomly, as the model reflects the simplicity of the colorus and its relationship with the background.

I enjoy this piece of art because it shows me purpose but yet it is abstract in every sense.

The theme on the fist floor lets you be reflexive on the publicity on our every day steps on the street. Also shows the slang on our streets.
