White Room explores space as a place for reflection, contemplation, and internal dialogue. The composition is built on subtle nuances of light, creating an effect of detachment, emptiness, or anticipation. The work evokes both tranquility and tension, emphasizing the significance of absence as an artistic technique.

The 1970s became a period of profound conceptual exploration of space and perception for Pikulytskyi. During this time, he created works that function not only on the level of visual perception but also on an emotional level, inviting the viewer to independently experience and interpret the interaction of form, light, and emptiness.

This work draws attention with its delicate balance between presence and absence, compelling the viewer to perceive space as an independent emotional and artistic element.
