Roberto Matta Octravi lithograph; abstract forms and lines in yellow, red, and blue, floating against a deep blue background.

// Roberto Matta's Octravi (1974–1975) is a vibrant lithograph that blends surrealist abstraction with dynamic, geometric forms. The composition features a complex array of shapes, including rectangles, lines, and organic forms, which appear to float against a rich, blue background. Bold yellow elements punctuate the scene, creating a striking contrast and adding depth to the spatial arrangement. Matta’s use of bright colors and fluid lines infuses the artwork with a sense of movement, as if the forms are caught in an evolving, dreamlike environment. This piece exemplifies Matta's exploration of inner psychological landscapes, merging the abstract with the subconscious.

What is automatism?

Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
