It is the line that connects and at the same time distinguishes everything. It is the line that expresses the concatenation of entities and “the connecting of distinctions” (Bernhard Lypp).

线,连接着一切同时又区分一切。线条表达着实体的连续性以及“区分中的连接”。(伯恩哈德·利普教授)

I use the “Eraser” tool to erase the color-filled layer without touching the background color.

Two layers are on top of each other and by erasing a digital drawing appears on the background color.

The Beautiful Formula Collective is about painting and creating collective works based on The Beautiful Formula Language. The Beautiful Formula Language makes it possible to understand the course of compositions, to realize the compositions and to design new ones. We use the combination of spontaneity, improvisation, and rhythm in applying colors to surfaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective paints not only in the studio, but also in public spaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective has performed and exhibited in Kyiv, Singapore, Zurich, Istanbul, London and Wuhan, to name a few stops.

The Platforms Project is an international exhibition of the independent art scene and has been presented every year since 2013. The objective of Platforms Project is to map artistic action as it is produced in the context of collective initiatives by artists who decide to join forces in seeking answers to artistic questions by creating the so-called platforms.
