 
Raymond Yosuico’s abstract Expressionist paintings are intensely sensual. Many of his works evoke those from Kandinsky’s Blue Rider period, though Yosuico’s use of both sharp and diffuse borders between neighboring color planes builds on that style’s conventions. Letting certain colors expand throughout the canvas while confining others to their margins, Yosuico teases our desire to read figures and backgrounds into his abstract works.
This technique also allows him to build on the emotive qualities of his colors. In canvases dominated by a relaxing blue or a frenetic yellow, the shape and repetition of color planes can convey, alternatively, movement or static, rhythm or silence. Through this dynamic interaction between his colors and shapes, Yosuico’s canvases take on a musical dimension that he manipulates effectively from one canvas to the next. Thus, certain works suggest a calm and melodic soundscape, while others are frantically musical. In every case, however, Yosuico’s sense of composition maintains a sense of harmony within each work.
