Minima

By Wouter Missler

Minima is a study on focus and color. Playing with the idea of a simple composition of semicircles, either rotated up or down. The focus of the observer is moved with the use of gradual animation in the gradients and occasional circles and/or rectangles connecting the shapes together through color.

The name minima stems from the origins of the composition, mostly taking inspiration from minimalism in its use of a few elements to form a composition greater than the sum of its parts. Less is more, as they say.

The point at the bottom right of the canvas resembles the end of a sentence. Like reading a book, you process the canvas in a similar way, moving from what pops the most to what the least.
