In 1922, Malevich concludes his book "Suprematism. The world without an object" promoting the idea that matter itself becomes pure feeling, since it is impossible to conceive an artistic activity without an object. The object is charged with a new meaning, with a performative power, no longer objective, but spiritual. The Suprematists quickly moved on to designing all geometric shapes and coloring them in all combinations. With color, the impression of both the different distance between the geometric forms and their approach to the viewer or their distance is achieved. Two shapes on the same plane, but with different color intensity, appear to be spaced apart from each other. Red, yellow and black rectangles, triangles, circles and rhombuses are organized on horizontal, vertical or diagonal axes on a white background, thus dividing the space and creating rhythmic movements in different directions. Kliun applies Suprematist principles in his studies and creates series of works with a combination of geometric shapes and colors, contributing his inspiration to the non-objective world of Kazimir Malevich. In this work, the curved line prevails and not the straight line, as the basic shape is the circle and the rest of the shapes are included within it.
