Minimalism is often perceived as a form of reduction, but it is precisely through that "reduction" that minimalist art manages to convey a message. By eliminating the superfluous, a space is created where what remains can be experienced with a more direct and clear intensity. Through simple shapes, limited colors, and a use of space that invites reflection, minimalist artists transformed the way we perceive art and the world around us.

The work of Suntur (1989, Thailand), whose pieces we are currently honored to exhibit in our gallery, is characterized by a reduction to the essentials, using simple shapes and a limited color palette to create a direct and profound visual experience. In this way, Suntur not only follows the aesthetic principles of minimalism but also invites reflection on how simplicity and reduction can bring greater clarity and depth in a visually saturated world.

His focus on the relationship between empty space and the object highlights the importance of negative space, allowing the void to become an active element of the work.

The geometric sculptures of Donald Judd (June 9, 1928, United States – February 12, 1994, United States), famous for his geometric sculptures and structures, such as boxes or rectangular forms made from industrial materials like metal and plexiglass, do not tell a story but instead invite you to think about the relationship between space, the object, and your own perception.

Artists like Yayoi Kusama (March 22, 1929, Matsumoto, Japan), despite her unique style, have approached minimalism by playing with repetition and empty space to create impactful visual experiences. In Infinity Mirrored Room - Filled with the Brilliance of Life, it is an installation where visitors walk through a hallway surrounded by mirrors, designed to reflect and multiply light, with the aim of conveying life as an experience filled with "brilliance" and reflection.

Kusama seeks aesthetic purification through the elimination of the unnecessary, transforming repetition and emptiness into means to explore both the individual and the infinite.

Lastly, Frank Stella (May 12, 1936, Malden, Massachusetts, USA), this painter and sculptor played with simple geometric shapes and lines, as seen in his famous "Black Paintings." In the painting Die Fahne Hoch! (Raise the Flag!), the use of the Nazi anthem as a title reflects Stella's challenge to the traditions of figurative and narrative painting of his time.

In his words: Actually the feeling was, giving feelings to your eyesight, as it were, rather than taking one more step back into your psyche.
