The composition bursts with blocks of colour and floating shapes, suspended in the negative space. Dividing the piece, a black oval sits to the left, while a violet quadrilateral dominates the right-hand side. Sinuous lines and abstract forms sing against the background. Two triangular sailboats can be seen sailing through calm lilac water, while the sinister cloud of an approaching storm encloses on a third. Kandinsky plays with scale and balance to create a powerful composition; a key theme in his work. The simple forms pave way for a deeper harmony in the work. To quote the artist, " everything starts from a dot". This expression, figuratively and literally, was a cornerstone of his creative process and can be felt in his dynamic artworks..
