In a letter to Gian Enzo Sperone, Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco dates the present work around 1918. He describes Forze spaziali 'a work in which Balla introduces forms of speed (thus not "abstract") combined with forms of landscape, with the purpose of creating a project for a decorative object'. He continues, stating: 'Its colour palette, from coldest to warmer, makes this small work a synthesis of the artist's research, from the "iridescent interpenetration" to his studies on "speed + landscape"'.
