During 1967 Caziel painted a series of seductive interlocking shapes which would ultimately lead to geometrical abstraction of forms against a white background. These works are the result of Caziel's intentionality to commit himself to push his research into Abstraction and show his self-awareness and willingness to lay himself bare in his paintings, so that they become the embodiment of his thought, emotion and self. They are the end of a long journey, from Giotto, through Cezanne and Picasso, passing by Kandinsky and Malevich, and the reading of philosophy and art. The consciousness of the journey and the aesthetic of the essence were key to Caziel's development.
With his abstract works, Caziel demonstrated that the goal was to understand experience by describing its genesis, the process of its emergence from an origin or event. As such Caziel's abstract paintings are inscribed into the contemporary French philosophical debate.
Caziel's works are present in the collections of the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Vatican Museum, Rome and the National Museum, Warsaw.
Whitford Fine Art has been representing the Estate of Caziel since 1994.
