Although he was often classified with constructivism and op art, André Beullens is mainly one of the important champions of Belgian Fundamental Painting, which also included painters such as Marthe Wéry, Dan Van Severen and Amedée Cortier. In order to obtain 'infinite color depth effect' in his own words, he attached great importance to the tonality of the color. To achieve this, he developed a highly personal, very labour-intensive painting technique. He invariably painted with oil paint, which he prepared with a palette knife and applied to the canvas with a stiff brush whose bristles he shortened. He then massaged the paint deep into the pores of the canvas with his fingers, after which he erased the fingerprints with a tampon brush, after which he went through the entire process again, in order to obtain an ultimate even color depth.
