Kokoro M, quartz on tile Painting by Santa & Cole

Aiguabella works in series that encompass a particular line of visual thought. Her latest series Kokoro conveys the transcendental value of ordinary things. This concept stems from her interest in the way of measuring time in Ancient Greece: Kronos is the qualitative measurement of time, and Kayros refers to its qualitative nature. Hence, Kokoro is a way of bringing together the meaning of both terms.

Hella Jongerius's mood boards for Vitra and Joseph Albers's theory of interaction of colour have influenced Aiguabella's chromatic palette for this series of works. The sequence of shapes and the selection of colours emanate a silent peace, inviting the viewer to reflect upon our everchanging perception and feeling of colour depending on how they are displayed together.

This series is a proposition to adopt a contemplative attitude to grasp the calm playfulness in the acts of repetition.
