This series is based on the relationship between geometric and figurative styles, two different stages in the process of Piet Mondrian. The Dutch artist started painting figuratively, but he was consolidated with a concise style, marked by vertical and horizontal lines.

Art Deco-style walls were overlapped to blurred bodies on the beach. Its geometry delimits the areas occupied by silhouettes, in an allusion to mathematics presence in minutest details and movements of our daily life.
