English: When Ilka Gedő created a painting, the mixing of colours did not occur in a random manner, but by looking for a given colour and/or colour hue that in the artist’s mind was required at the given moment. The colour hues and colour variations of a given basic colour were selected by basic colours and put into separate boxes. By colour patterns (the artist’s expression) the artist meant small pieces of scrap or cardboard, not seldom pieces of canvas, that served as a trial for various colour combinations.
