This abstract composition plays with blocks of color like a sophisticated puzzle, combining rich teals, deep blues, vibrant yellows, and unexpected splashes of purple. The rectangles overlap and stack in seemingly random arrangements, creating a rhythm that feels both carefully planned and spontaneous. Some colors recede while others jump forward, giving the piece an unexpectedly three-dimensional quality despite its flat geometric shapes.

Hedi Mertens' work here shows a clear love for pure color interaction. The way the blues dominate the canvas while bright yellows punctuate the corners creates a sense of balance without symmetry. There's something calming about these clean-edged shapes, yet the composition never feels static. Your eye keeps moving across the canvas, finding new color relationships and unexpected pairings, like the way that purple square sits boldly against the darker tones surrounding it.
