make it in another place . That ’ s what you call balance .” The key to his many works is the “ harmonic balance ” he achieves between geometric shapes . The visual harmony he creates , be it on paper , canvas , wood , or textiles , he defines as adhering to the same laws of harmony that exists in mathematics , music and poetry . For Yezza , each discipline is an expression of the other . Music is his pulse . The first thing he does when he is about to draw is put on classical music . “ Music is created by applying laws of frequency and sound in certain ways . That applies to art too ,” Yezza says . He finds inspiration from ancient philosophy . On his website he posts Pythagoras ’ description of geometry as visual music . In music , Pythagoras says , “ States of harmonic resonance are produced when frequencies are combined in ways that are in unison with universal law . These same laws can be applied to produce visual harmony . Instead of frequency and sound it is angle and shape that are combined in ways that are in unison with universal law . Geometric shapes can be orchestrated in ways to produce visual symphonies that show the harmonic unification of diversity .” Poetry is also an essential ingredient of Yezza ’ s creative process . He quotes an ancient saying he found in Bartlett ’ s Familiar Quotations , “ Painting is silent poetry and poetry is painting that speaks .” ( Simonides of Ceos , 556bc-469 bc .) Over the past year Yezza has moved almost exclusively to computer generated art , digitizing literally thousands of abstractions using computer design software . Each image is a variation on a theme . Some of these images are used as
