A PAINTING FOR EVERY DAY

365: A Year in Colour is a year-long series of 365 small-scale abstract paintings, one for each day of the year.

Each painting is anchored to a specific date, guided by a dated Sudoku puzzle that shapes its structure and composition.

The series explores chance, variation, and repetition, forming a visual calendar of colour.

Bold, graphic multicoloured abstract painting with repeating geometric shapes, 1 November (124/365) by Victoria Mardon, 365: A Year in Colour series.

EVERY DATE HAS A STORY

Each painting marks a single day, whether a birthday, an anniversary, or an ordinary Tuesday.

You can choose a painting for a specific date.

The work becomes more than a painting; it becomes a lasting record of that day.
