Junior Valle (XX) - Abstract Impulses - Tondo

This work is part of the Abstract Impulses – Tondo series, a cycle of works in which Junior Valle explores the painting gesture as a primary, immediate, and unmediated impulse, letting color become emotional language and visual structure at the same time.

The circular composition embraces an intense and vibrant palette, dominated by deep reds, saturated blues, and bright yellows, traversed by lighter accents that create dynamic contrasts and moments of breath within the surface. The colors are not laid on uniformly but decisively layered, giving rise to a tactile, dense, and physical painting, in which every stroke bears the trace of the gesture.

The overlapping spatulate shapes build a rhythmic pattern that guides the eye along the entire circumference of the work, without a central focal point, inviting the viewer to a continuous and immersive visual experience. The round format amplifies this sense of movement and cyclicity, making the painting perceived as an autonomous, living organism.

Entirely handmade in oil on canvas, the work is unframed, a choice that reinforces the contemporary character of the piece and enhances its direct visual impact. Signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist, it represents a significant piece within a series conceived to engage with modern spaces and collections attentive to current painterly exploration.
