Sonia Delaunay was a Russian artist who lived in Paris and specialised in fabric, fashion and set design. She was known for her use of bold colours and geometric shapes and was the first living female artist to hold a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964. Whenever I think of her vibrant abstract art, I remember and identify with her response to my own work.

"For me, there is no distance between my painting and my so-called 'decorative' production". I have never felt that the "minor arts" were frustrating from an artistic point of view, on the contrary, I have always considered them an extension of my art".

- Sonia Delaunay

I started this painting from graphic shapes and finished it with a concrete texture. I believe this design can have a strong but soft impact within a space, especially if it is a clean architectural environment. Tal Waldman
