Hello everyone, this my entry for the Crypto Art & Design Challenge by @sndbox. This is the ninth edition and the first one in which I will participate. This time the logo to use as a basis for our design will be IOTA.

My Inspiration

As you can see, I used the cubism art style. This is one of the most influetial art movements of the 20th century, being pablo picasso one of its greatest representatives.

But in this case I take as inspiration an artwork by Piet Mondrian:

He was initially inspired by the pioneers Picasso and Georges Braque.

When Mondrian saw Cubist paintings by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso at a 1911 exhibition in Amsterdam, he was inspired to go to Paris. Tableau No. 2/Composition No. VII, painted a year after his arrival in 1912, exemplifies Mondrian’s regard for the new technique.

But his works were characterized by a higher level of abstraction.

Yet Mondrian went beyond the Parisian Cubists’ degree of abstraction: his subjects are less recognizable, in part because he eschewed any suggestion of volume, and, unlike the Cubists, who rooted their compositions at the bottom of the canvas in order to depict a figure subject to gravity, Mondrian’s scaffolding fades at the painting’s edges.

This is because this work also includes another artistic movement: De Stijl ("The Style").

Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors.

In my design you can see a bit of all that , including facades of buildings, in this case much more noticeable and less abstract, but maintaining the style of his painting. I hope you like it and I invite you to participate too. Until this Wednesday there is time to submit your entry to the contest. Please let me know what you think in the comments!
