So I'd like to express the "clearness" (in sense of elegance) of some spatial shapes (BTW not sure about this phrase, probably "spatial forms" is more correct). I'm going to use either "pure" or "clear", but not sure what word fits better (or they are probably equal in this context?).

EDIT: I'd prefer to say this in a subtle and suggestive way, rather than straightly.

Not totally sure what your intention is here, perhaps you could elaborate more? Based on what you've said, my guess is you're referring to a sort of "perfection of form?" If my assumption is correct, I don't think either word is great, but "pure" would be much better than "clearness."

How are we meant to help? I suspect you know the respective definitions, so it's up to you to choose ! Are they more clear, or pure? Why not both? :)

Are these described as "platonic solids" or "uniform polyhedral"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

So long as you're speaking in an artistic sense, "pure" is a valid term to express a sort of "elegant simplicity" of the object being described.

Seems to me that “pure” indicates a condition or state. “Clear” indicates the additional ability to see or understand.
