In 2012, Cornelia created the series “Pythagoras”, four paintings on the composition of a module based on three right triangles and three equilateral triangles. In that year, she also created the first composition on a surface using the module.

In 2018, she returned to the theme and made the first painting on canvas of the “Polygons” series, which was sold two years later at the Christie’s Latinamerican Art Online international auction.

In 2019, she developed three other compositions with the pattern using rotation and superposition operations to make geometric elements emerge, with optical effects, which composed an experience of color perception for the exhibition „Cien es un color“ framed within the centenary of the Bauhaus, for the 14th Bienal de Artes Mediales at the GAM.

In 2020, she developed two new compositions and has now returned to and is working on a new variation of the theme. This post is dedicated to the third painting of the “Polygons” series.
