The creation's coincidence, owed to the properties of fire and heat, allows the color to unfold its explosive effect on the canvas. A unique image of natural force originates from this elementary power. Otto Piene had put the examination of the elements light, air and fire in the center of his artistic creation. Accordingly, he was among the most innovative heads of contememporary art.
