R.Robin - Umbral (XL)(No reserve )

“Umbral”

In this work I construct a system of overlapping planes where color acts as a field of emotional tension. The dominant red is not just a backdrop, but an enveloping atmosphere that activates the entire surface and places the viewer in a state of perceptual alert. I divide the space into bands that function as reading layers: at the bottom, a linear blue network describes synthetic vegetation, almost coded, recalling that “garden” in my work that symbolizes the mutable and the lived. In the center, the matter becomes denser and more pictorial, with overlapping gestures that suggest accumulation, memory, and time. Above all of that, I let vertical lines fall through the composition, as if the space were being filtered or traversed by a rain of information.

The upper plane, more contained and luminous, presents itself as a suspended space, a place of transition where form dissolves and the image becomes almost intangible. It is there that I place the concept of the “threshold”: an unstable boundary between the structural and the organic, between what is contained and what expands. In this piece, the “house” — understood as a solid identity — is fragmented into layers, while the “garden” emerges from below as a force that insists on occupying everything. My intention is not to represent, but to provoke that sensation of passage, of crossing, where the spectator stands right at that limit at which something ceases to be in order to begin transforming.
