Abstraction – Gestalt Chromatic Perception

This collection of paintings was inspired by the way the human mind constructs reality through color, contrast, and perception. Drawing from Gestalt psychology, chromatic adaptation, and simultaneous contrast, these works explore how the absence of color defines its presence, how edges shift through perception, and how light and form emerge from cognitive interpretation. By engaging with the science of vision and emotion, this series invites viewers to experience color not just as a visual element, but as a psychological phenomenon.
Color is not just seen as color is processed—
A construct of cognition, shaped by contrast and context.
Shape
The mind completes what the eye cannot,
Merging fragments into a seamless whole.

Value (Light & Dark Contrast)
In desaturation, hues linger—
An afterimage of perception, an echo of adaptation.

Edges (Definition & Transition)
Simultaneous contrast bends reality,
As colors shift against their opposites, defining themselves through difference.

What the eye perceives, the brain refines—
Thus I am, Thus I am not
Illusions of depth, movement, and emotion,
Gestalt in motion, where light and void converge.
