Support: Assembly on a rigid wooden base with a rear spacer frame.
Notes: Study of optical-retinal dynamics in relief. The backing framework is designed to create an effect of hovering suspension from the wall.
Execution: Unique work made entirely by hand.
Dimensions: 40x40x3

"Original unique work. Not a print, but a complex flat sculpture realized through manual layering of colored papers. The zig-zag pattern, the core of the artist’s kinetic research, creates dynamic optical movement"
The work succeeds in the difficult task of reconciling the obsessiveness of artisanal work with the formal clarity of abstract geometry. "Vortex" is not only a visual swirl, but a meeting point between humble material (paper) and the complexity of human vision. It is an invitation to slow down, to observe the detail to understand the whole, celebrating the beauty of patience as a cognitive tool.
Critical Review: The Chromatic Oscillation of "Vortex"
In an era dominated by digital dematerialization and algorithmic precision, the work "Vortex" stands as a tactile resistance statement and analytical rigor. At first glance, the viewer is struck by a centripetal force that seems to bend the two-dimensionality of the support; however, the true conceptual power lies in the analysis of how the work is made.
Genesis of the Sign: Between Method and Manner
The technique employed — a meticulous mosaic of hundreds of hand-cut paper strips — elevates collage from a compositional exercise to a temporal performance. Each strip is not merely a fragment of color, but a unit of time and gesture. The choice of manual cutting introduces a "controlled imperfection" that gives the work an organic vibration, almost a heartbeat, which would be impossible to achieve with mechanical die-cutting.
Phenomenology of Perception
"Vortex" does not merely represent movement; it generates it in the eye of the viewer. The artist demonstrates a deep understanding of Op Art dynamics, echoing the structural research of figures such as Alberto Biasi or Bridget Riley.
Kinetic Tension: The rhythmic overlay and angle of the strips create a physical moiré effect.
Color Architecture: The chromatic progression is not random, but follows a precise study of optical perception: contrasts between warm tones (vibrant reds and sunny yellows) and the cool depths of blues and greens create an illusion of perceptual depth that pushes the center of the work toward an indefinable elsewhere.
