We present to you an oil on canvas depicting an abstract geometric composition in black, white and gray by Zofia Rostad (born in 1935) The work combines irregular shapes superimposed on dotted surfaces, arranged in a sober and structured composition. The contrast between light flat areas, black zones and graphic motifs evokes a geometric abstraction inspired by modernism. The piece is signed “Zofia Rostad” in red at the bottom right. Title: Geometric Abstract Composition in Black and White Technique: Oil on Canvas Artist: Zofia Rostad (born 1935) Total size with frame: 41 × 33 cm Condition: Good condition Zofia Rostad, born in 1935 in Poland, is a renowned artist and textile creator, famous for her cheerful and colorful patterns. After settling in France, she dedicated her life to brightening interiors through the design of everyday objects. For more than fifty years, she imagined household linens, fabrics for children and wallpapers. Her unique style is characterized by vivid hues, vitamin-rich atmospheres and a great sense of freshness. Her collections often feature playful animal motifs, notably her famous cat drawings. She also places nature at the center with floral representations and orchestrated stripes. A true artisan, Zofia Rostad rejects the use of computers to conceive her original works. She favors finely prepared gouache, a brush, and meticulous calligraphy work. Her expertise led her to collaborate with prestigious French manufacturers such as Tissage Moutet. Her iconic 1970s wallpapers, such as the “Pommes” model, profoundly shaped mural design. Today, the work of this color ambassador is widely recognized internationally. Several national institutions preserve and exhibit her graphic and textile creations across Europe. Her major pieces can be found at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Her tapestry collections are also visible at the Musée du Papier Peint in Rixheim. The Mulhouse Museum of Fabric Printing has also dedicated major retrospective exhibitions to her. In 2012, her homeland, Poland, paid tribute to her career with a large retrospective. Her vintage creations—sheets, tablecloths and duvet covers—remain highly sought after by collectors today. Zofia Rostad has managed to transform domestic textiles into a joyful, poetic art accessible to all. Her universe conveys contagious cheerfulness through a perfect mastery of color harmonies.
