Sonia Delaunay is a key figure in Orphism, known for her vibrant, colorful compositions. The carnival theme naturally occupies a special place in her work, illustrating her fascination with light, movement and color. The carnival, with its festive spirit and flamboyant costumes, perfectly matched Delaunay's artistic quest for the dynamism of shapes and colors. Through the magic of vivid, contrasting colors, the artist revives the excitement and carefree spirit of the carnival, composing dynamic geometric shapes that dance across the paper like joyful releases of the mind and imagination. By incorporating the spirit of carnival into her creations, Sonia Delaunay transcends simple pictorial representations to create a veritable visual feast, where color and form free themselves from traditional constraints to celebrate life and movement.
