What are THE VISUAL ELEMENTS of ART:

  • Line (defines contours; most basic visual element).

  • Color [qualities of hue (red, blue, yellow, etc.), intensity (brightness or saturation), and value (lightness or darkness) observed in colored pigment or light].

  • Light (used literally by sculptors, photographers and architects; sometimes used for dramatic effect with dark shadows).

  • Texture (real or implied? rough or smooth?).

  • Space (is there a suggestion of depth on the flat surface?).

  • Perspective (scientific method for creating a three-dimensional illusion on a two-dimensional surface).

  • Form (usually refers to the shape or structure of an object).

  • Proportion (refers to the relationship of the parts to the whole).

  • Composition (the arrangement or organization of the visual elements; compositions can be symmetrical, pyramidal, heraldic, etc.).


Art strives for form and hopes for the illusion of beauty. Art isn't just about making things, it's about developing ideas, which can inspire beyond mere aesthetics, as light gets filtered, then fixed, into one's brain sensors. The fact that our eye can perceive so many different kinds of things is something that I get a lot of inspiration from as I seek the aesthetic elements present in space, light and mind. The space of the imagination, and creativity of form, just needs the touch of an artist to inspire the viewer.

I attempt to make something that engages with people even though it's quite static. They have to visually navigate it from a variety of angles to fully appreciate it . They respond to my art viscerally, because the level of representation is just light and the contrasting lines. I get the sense that a lot of people really enjoy the experiences they've had in viewing my constructive art forms and firmly believe that creating art invites the viewer into the art object itself, opening them up to the larger ideas invoked by the piece.

Artist David Rubello specializes in constructive relief paintings and photography

David Rubello gets motivated by Relief Art forms: It was Through my desire to achieve actual space relationships that I came to three-dimensional constructure painting in 1980. The relief form, by it's very nature, allows the viewer to experience the artist's work from different vantage points. Light falling on the form may vary allowing the painted Constructure a renewal aspect relating to form and color. #D art forms require constructive building materials

New Life Forms -1990 to present: In early 1990 I began working on a photographic series entitled "New Life Forms". These black and white photograms revealed the results of light interupted by form. The transitions of black and white transparent values possess a mystery for me. I set out to capture the ambient shadows and possible forms variations through the cameras eye and darkroom techniques. Constructing abstract art forms in wood, metals,paper, fabrics holds my attention to this day when transforming light into ever changing images.
