The abstract nature of the images is achieved through constructive geometrising, aiming at maximum generalization of the forms. Stylization disrupts the extremely clear recognizability of the form, but also expands the scope of visual interpretation. In mosaic, color has a leading meaning. It determines the legibility of the overall silhouette of the panel when it is distinguished from the environment. The construction of the image is outlined by lines and highly impactful expressive strokes. The contrast of dark and light colors defines the compositional structure - a dark compositional structure on a light background and enhances the impact of the compositional center. The "rhythm" of colorful forms contrasting with each other ensures a logical constructive relationship in the arrangement of the whole composition and is meaningfully connected with the suggestion of "tune"
