Kinêm(a)nima - Colour is an acrylic painting on canvas that uses the same techniques as those of the painting Kinêm(a)nima, but introduces this time a few colours designed to highlight the different areas of the canvas, and notably a kind of transversal, false mirror-like diagonal line.

The same exploration on movement and on the rapidity of the gestural kineme is pursued, drawing undulatory lines and outlining a few masses. In some areas, streaks tear through the material, forming a kind of "rugged terrain".

The title is derived from the Greek word "kinêma" ("movement") and from the Latin word "anima" ( "breath", "soul") from which the word " animal" is derived. This title alludes to one of my series of musical works, Kinêm(a) (Kinê-Diffr(a)ct and Kinêm(a)bstract) for amplified instruments, composed between 2008 and 2012.
