Pointillism builds colors, shades and images through the point. Each individual point, with its own subtle shade and tone placed next to another point, creates the vibration and overall appearance of the desired colour. In this way of thinking, our world is similarly composed of small particles which, when arranged next to each other in particular orders and combinations, construct the real and material world we perceive. The notion of the point assembling images in pointillism closely echoes scientific explanations of matter and the processes that shape reality. In art, the point thus gains not only a material, visual function but also becomes a carrier of ideas, meanings and expressive messages.
