Pilari Helsinki - Squares in Motion - The Red Wall

Layers of red and white paper are arranged to form a rhythmic, monochromatic grid. This interplay transforms the seemingly static grid into something dynamic - alive with shifting light and perspective, revealing new details with every glance.

The artwork is handcrafted by Gyula Takács using multiple layers of meticulously selected cotton papers from France and England, combined with recycled mirror pieces. It comes framed, hand-signed, and numbered on the back, featuring the Pilari Helsinki authenticity stamp in archival ink. A Certificate of Authenticity, personally signed by the artist, accompanies each piece as a mark of its originality from Pilari Helsinki.
