Collage became an important landmark in the history of Cubism and inspired the entire modern art of the 20th century. The breakthrough to the third dimension and to the world of tangible materials provided great freedom of creativity.

way to see things,
until someone shows
us how to look at them
with different eyes"

Pointillism
Pointillism takes great patience. Pointillism is a technique of neo-impressionist painting using tiny dots of various pure colors, which become blended in the viewer's eye. It was developed by Georges Seurat with the aim of producing a greater degree of luminosity and brilliance of color.
Using pure primary colours, the classical form, tiny dots of primary colours are arranged close together, which then generate secondary colours. Through painting, will explore the scientific reason of human eye and how it interprets and blends tiny dots to give a full picture.
“Some say they see
poetry in my paintings;
I see only science.”
- George Seurat
