The focus of Raza's art over the last two decades has been to explore and represent the elements of nature, which regulate space and time and lend structure to the universe. The representation of these forms is symbolic, having been reduced to pure geometrical principles of lines, circles, squares and triangles. "Geometrical forms are used to map the universe. Here, the vocabulary of pure plastic form acquires an integral purpose: to relate the shape and rhythm of these forms to Nature." (G. Sen, Bindu: Space and Time in Raza's Vision, New Delhi, 1997, p. 118.)
Raza's concern with the principles of pure geometry is equaled by his fascination for color and its potent symbolism. "I have interpreted the universe in terms of five primary colors: black, white, red, blue and yellow. A total chromatic expression can be achieved by mixing primary colors with other secondary colors, such as greens, browns, and ochres. From there you can move to a great austerity of colors till you come to a supreme purity of form." (G. Sen, op. cit, pp. 127-128.)
