I love the "Homages to the Square" paintings by Josef Albers http://albersfoundation.org/art/josef-albers/paintings/homages-to-the-square/index/
and thought I could recreate the idea using vibrant spices...I actually thought it would never come out perfect but I really like the imperfection that came out of the process. for the technique "square".
paprika and tumeric?
