Saphirogramme 1969

Endre Rozsda made this 'Saphirogramme', which is an oil on canvas, using blues, greys, and whites to create a complex, dreamlike space. I can imagine Rozsda layering paint, adding shapes, then editing, covering up, and starting over. It’s like he's building a world, bit by bit, with each stroke of the brush. The blues feel cool, like twilight, while the whites create a sense of light filtering through. The painting feels really intimate, like Rozsda is showing us a secret place inside his mind. You know, painting is kind of like that, right? A way of thinking through making, of getting to know yourself better through colors and forms. Rozsda’s work reminds me of other artists who explored inner worlds. And that's what painting is all about, this ongoing conversation between artists across time. We inspire each other, challenge each other, and keep the dialogue going. There's no right or wrong way to read this, it's about embracing the ambiguity and letting your own imagination take over.
