So here is this artist whose work with typographic creative surgery I've loved for a long time. And he uses the word OSTINATO. Dang, that is one of my favorite words and probably because I was trained as an architect and learned to "see" music from a structural perspective. The ostinato in Mozart's Adagio Movement from the Serenade # 10 (Gran Partita) is one I live by.

Wow. This is a really visually engaging piece that invites exploration... For me it almost evokes the feeling of an optical illusion, where the viewer can imagine entering or climbing into the canvas from various angles, the 'hum' creating a sense of dynamic depth and movement within your repeating zigzag pattern.⚡️

That's a painting I could look at for a long time. It has a calmness to it as well as mystery.

There is a lot to look at in that painting. So many spaces and relationships constantly shifting. Moving the attention from here to there, in and out, roaming, twisting.

That's a cool painting. And thanks for introducing me to the word "Ostinato".... I love the sound of it.

Based on the word obstinate "fixed and unyielding in course or purpose," obstinate implies an unreasonable persistence: adamant, determined, dogged, headstrong, inflexible, intractable, ornery, persistent, perverse, relentless, rigid, single-minded, steadfast, tenacious, tough, unshakable, willful.
