Ay Trochim's paintings are situated in the circle of geometric abstraction, and are an original interpretation of light, matter and space. The lines running across the canvas, interpenetrating each other and of varying intensity, give the impression of movement and constant swirling, which is further emphasized by the pastel and sophisticated colors of the paintings.
