In fact, the spontaneity and expressivity present in Mubin's work place him in the circle of Informal Art, which notably brings together the non-figurative artists of the Second School of Paris.
The freedom of gesture and the expressive use of matter and color make this painting, a work characteristic of the style that Mubin deploys in the fifties and sixties.
The large strokes applied with energy and elegance give rhythm to the composition. The movement thus created gives an impression of depth and intensity. A musical and poetic emotion flows from the canvas.
The large dimensions of the painting and the almost monochrome palette of subtle gradations produce an effect of balance and imbalance sought by the artist.
Color is an essential element of Mubin's work. He chooses them according to their psychological and emotional impact. Thus he creates works in red and orange tones suggesting passion, and even anger, or a contrario in a monochrome of blues and gray, bringing softness and calm to the environment in which the work is located. Mubin energizes the dominant color with luminous touches of contrasting color. The emotional charge is always very intense.
