What I meant was; is impossible to design an abstract painting that
would have an aesthetic meaning to you,
though different from any view. Or have you ever tried to do one?

As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as a totally
abstract painting; or every painting is totally abstract. It's
either all one or all the other and there's no difference between
them. All representation or recognition is due to associative
neural activity. And every act of looking ignites the associative
stream. So, everything looks like something else.

When a totally abstract (except for color) painting that has
excellent design balance,
does balance refers to gravity or does it refer to View from every
angle ,up or down.
Would it become off balance if the point of view is change.

i guess i was thinking of tile patterns within each tile that can be
placed anywhere,and is aesthetically
Ok, like any other well designed abstract work. As I wrote
before,Terrazzo tile in my Bath room.
Even that grid is not depended on gravity to spark some emotion.
Like your work,it can be upside down.

A flat grid plane is parallel to the ground or even contiguous with
it. Like a flat tabletop view instead of a window view. So that's
gravity, too.

No gravity there, right?

Aren't there art designs that look well composed in any position,
specially in abstract art?

Yep! Luis is right. But architecture has a master it must always

Earlier I wrote (2 items from a list):
a) Architecture can be the manipulation of space through markers:
monuments, obelisks, etc.
b) Architecture can be the negative space formed by the
perimeter of
buildings, columns, walls, water features, earthworks, etc.
such as
in plazas.
Some of you appeared skeptical, so here is an excellent example:
St. Peter's Square - Vatican City
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_Peter%
27s_Square,_Vatican_City_-_April
_2007.jpg_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
File:St_Peter's_Square,_Vatican_City_-
_April_2007.jpg)
Architecture is not just the building/structure but the space
that it
encloses/defines both on the interior and exterior.
c. Architecture is the manipulation of the negative space within
and
outside of a building/structure.
Note: I believe that any decent architect understands, accepts and
incorporates the above (a + b + c) in their architectural
thinking/work.
