Signals of coexistence

The painting “Signals of Coexistence” presents an abstract structure composed of regularly arranged vertical marks in a dark shade, set against a pastel purple background. The arrangement of these signals is not random—some form clusters, while others appear alone, suggesting relationships between them.

The structural organization of these elements resembles an encoded message, perhaps a form of invisible alphabet or a communication scheme, in which individual signals exist side by side but are not necessarily fully synchronized. This may symbolize polyphony—the coexistence of different forms, identities, or ideas within a shared space.

The use of pastel purple as the background evokes a sense of softness and calm, while the darker, intensely red signals contrast with this gentle space, asserting their presence. The color palette may suggest duality—light and shadow, stability and disruption.

The painting can be interpreted as a metaphor for the coexistence of people, ideas, and thoughts that exist alongside one another, though not always in complete harmony. The grouping of certain signals may refer to social structures—communities, thought collectives, or interpersonal relationships. In contrast, solitary signals may represent the individual, their unique identity within a larger system. Coexistence here does not imply perfect harmony, but rather the possibility of being together in diversity and tension.

The minimalist approach to composition and the limited color palette emphasize the abstract and conceptual nature of the work. The artist uses simple forms, yet their placement and the layering of meanings give the painting multidimensional depth.

The painting technique, with clearly defined vertical signals, resembles a method of information encoding—evoking associations with binary code, sound recordings, or rhythmic graphic symbols.
