The work is a typical example of Biggi's art, always driven by an irrepressible, essential, and ultimately profoundly musical need for rhythm.
"In Biggi, the mechanical repetition of a continuous, infinite stroke betrays, like a cardiogram, the uncontrolled impulses of an internal rhythm that, in his previous paintings, caused sudden areas of accumulation or rarefaction within the dense fabric of the color drips, and an infinite number of small stretch marks." (Palma Bucarelli)
"Biggi doesn't imagine or conceive the painting; he places himself in a constant operational position: he perceives and communicates. He thus weaves a scheme, a pattern that, if it could, would always be the same. It can't be, because the hand cannot make the same sign twice, and identity doesn't exist; rather, existence is non-identity. The second sign (although they are all round) already contains the experience of the first, is influenced by it, attracted or repelled by it, belongs to a time, and is located in a different point in space." (Giulio Carlo Argan)
