Beyond Reality: Color and Shape as an Absolute Language

To speak of Malevich is to speak of an artist who had the courage to abandon visible reality and enter another dimension. His painting does not seek to reproduce nature, nor to describe what the eye sees. On the contrary, it seeks to free itself from all constraints to express the purest essence: color and form as symbols, as autonomous presences, as energy that exists independently of the tangible world.
In this, I feel a profound resonance with my own research. For me, too, color is never just color, shape is never just shape: both become signs of an interior language, which doesn't describe but evokes. There's a detachment from reality, not to deny it, but to open our gaze to what we can't see, to the most secret meaning of things.
Malevich spoke of "suprematism," but what strikes me most is its radicality: the gesture of erasing reality to start over, as if art were a gateway to the infinite. And in this silence of recognizable figures, I find an echo of my own need to go beyond, to give voice to what has no form in the world, but exists in thought, in vision, in the soul.
