In Geometric landscape VII, Costa translates the organic sprawl of the earth into a deliberate arrangement of planes and intersections. By utilizing both acrylic and watercolor, the artist plays with varying degrees of opacity; some sections feel as light as a passing shadow, while others ground the composition with the weight of stone. The portrait orientation emphasizes the verticality of the terrain, guiding the eye upward through a mosaic of earth tones and sharp edges.

This work moves away from traditional representation to explore how nature can be understood through geometry. Instead of soft transitions, Costa uses clear boundaries to define the layers of the land, suggesting that even the most rugged scenery possesses an underlying order. The result is a quiet, analytical view of the environment that invites the viewer to see the familiar shapes of the outdoors as a series of interlocking puzzles.
