Matrix is 'a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object'.
In mathematics.
But it's also a mould from which all the items are made.
And it's the famous movie about existential questions.
Matrix comes from the Latin word for 'mother'.
Here you can see my "Matrix series", nets of origami Ninja Stars.
I use the Ninja Star origami shape in my art.
It is a four point start, formed of 4 parts.
I call it 4Love and associate it to the heart and to the energy centre number 4, that corresponds to the heart.

For this matrix I used a special paper from Venice, Italy, with the Vitruvian Man image by Leonardo da Vinci.
It's an iconic image, a matrix of art and geometry.
Lime colour is between green and yellow, sweet and sunny.

"Matrix Poppy" - folded paper on canvas - 2022 - 30x30 cm (12x12 in)
I love this poppy colour.
I like to use black paper on black background, it gives a subtle feeling.
Aquamarine is the colour, gentle and calm.
This is the shade of pink I love to use in my art.
