Kinêm(a)nima - Colour is an acrylic painting on canvas which uses again the same techniques as those of the painting Kinêm(a)nima, but this time with an introduction of a few colours meant to underline the different spaces of the painting, and notably a kind of transversal diagonal line in false mirror.

The same work on movement and on the rapidity of the gestural kineme is explored, drawing undulatory lines and outlining a few masses. In some areas, the matter is torn apart by some streaks which form a kind of "rugged terrain".

The title is derived from the Greek word "kinêma", which means "movement", and from the Latin word "anima", which means "breath", "soul", and which then gave the word " animal". 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.
