The manifesto

Modern Minimalism is the use of few elements to maximize a work.

What is Modern Minimalism?

Modern Minimalism is the painting movement created by the Colombian painter Peniche (Mihály Flandorffer Peniche) since 2006. It uses few elements to maximize a work: one base color, a limited palette — primary (red, yellow, blue) or secondary (orange, purple, green), always with black and white — and numbers, symbols and constellations in the foreground. Not to be confused with the interior-design style of the same name.
