'La Java' is a riot of contrasting colours and forms, which although primarily abstract in composition, suggest figures or organic forms. Mario Dubsky's work of the late 1960s was concerned with marrying figurative and abstract forms, uniting them with strong colour and rhythm. His concentration on form and structure up to this period revealed his love of distinctive forms and colours, aspects that were undoubtedly influenced by his interest in Mediterranean countries and cultures.
