CSS Grid Mondrian Layout – Recreating Abstract Art
CSS Grid Mondrian Layout recreating Mondrian’s abstract art using pure HTML and CSS.
The Mondrian Project is a frontend layout exercise inspired by the iconic abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian. In this project, the goal was to recreate Mondrian’s distinctive geometric art style using modern CSS Grid layout techniques along with semantic HTML.
This Project demonstrates how powerful CSS can be for building complex and precise layouts. By carefully defining grid rows, columns, and spacing, the famous colored blocks and black lines characteristic of Mondrian’s artwork were recreated entirely through code.
Through the Mondrian Project, I explored advanced layout control, alignment, and color composition while keeping the code clean and minimal. The design was built using only HTML and CSS, without images or JavaScript, highlighting how modern CSS layout systems can replicate artistic compositions.
This project showcases practical frontend skills such as CSS Grid positioning, layout structuring, and visual accuracy, making the Mondrian Project a great example of creative design implemented through code.
