«Upon deep analysis of «Contemplation», the same innate philosophies can be detected, however in this instance they possess a more abstracted form. Parallels with Surrealism can be surmised through Malivanis structural balance between abstraction and definable elements; indeed, her proclivity for eyes and the symbolic exploration of vision is certainly one which the artist shares with Rene Magritte as both artists draw an emblematic correlation between sight and agency. In «Contemplation», Malivani asserts an overpowering sense of motion through the coalescing red and green hues and fluid use of line, which give the impression that the butterfly is in flight alongside the three sets of optics as the figure is aligned with the allegorical use of nature in the work».

For the Artist, feminine soul represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration. One of the most difficult goals of artists depicting the moods of the womans heart on canvas is to convey their force, depth, and meaning in abstract compositions.
