In the meantime this might give you some insights and useful vocabulary in meaning, significance and interpretation of his work in general:
“Joaquín Torres García believed that art should incorporate human experience, and that geometry was the most effective and universal means to represent that experience. Focusing on what he called "spiritual geometry" rather than strictly mathematic geometry, Torres-Garc�a created a system of abstraction that incorporated symbols filled with personal and national history and meaning. He found that pre-Hispanic culture was, for him, rich in "spiritual geometry...which does not lie in knowing the physical, but the essential of everything."

He believed that the language of pictures was a universal language that could be comprehended by all because its vocabulary was drawn from the common symbols of the human unconscious. He placed symbols within a constructed grid which read together visually symbolized truths for humanity.
What a beautiful Composition, Its a clear portray of your poetic Excellence My dear Deito. let me repeat once, oh my god i am in love with these words of yours : ~~~~~~~ Prana Hansa, Spread your wings and fly, To the Realms, Where matter mystify ! Mano Hansa, Spread your wings and fly, To the Realms, Where intellect Purify ! Jeeva Hansa, Spread your wings and fly, To the Realms, Where death Defy ! ~~~~~~~ Last time when you wrote in Urdu and Hindi, i was not able to understand it completely. But here i guess Jeeva Hansa is soul, Prana Hansa is body and Mana Hansa is mind. Extremely Beautiful , and Why do i feel some special Vibrations, in this arrangement of words, as if i am spelling some chant, or spell, and some mantra of some kind. Even though it is in engligh, it sounds like some mantra. What is this special vibration Deito, Can you explain me please, Apart form the rhyming words and choice and meaning, there is some sacred vibration, i can feel it, and i see that some others ahve also felt the same way. Waiting for reply from you, My dear Deito. Lots and Lots of love. EDIT EDIT EDIT : Thank you so much Deito, I Love you so much, can I get a tight hug please. Ariel.
