Description:

Original work belonging to the series Suspended Horizons, branch “Apparitions.”

A luminous presence slowly emerges from the deep darkness of the surface, like a fragile yet essential apparition. The contrast between darkness and light creates an intense and silent atmosphere, suspended between matter and perception.

The work is made with mixed media on cotton canvas, through stratifications, glazes and minimal gestural interventions. A single small luminous accent crosses the composition as a discreet and necessary trace.

A contemporary and evocative piece, characterized by strong visual depth and an essential palette in blues and turquoise tones.

Artwork signed on the front and back, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Colors may vary slightly depending on the screen.

Project Statement
Concept Series – Suspended Horizons

This work belongs to my artistic path dedicated to the Suspended Horizons, a research born from the encounter between water and intuition. In these canvases, the fluid matter gives shape to inner landscapes: imagined visions that do not represent real places, but states of mind, perceptual thresholds and fragments of ephemeral beauty.

The surface develops through light stratifications, transparencies and sparse fields, evoking silence, waiting and the breath of a suspended time. In some works essential signs emerge — stylized bloom, floating petals, reflected trees — symbolic presences that amplify the meditative and dreamlike dimension without imposing a defined narrative.

The series takes the form of a process in flux, open to gestural and formal variations, faithful to a poetics of the unsaid and the threshold. Within this research three expressive modalities take shape, which are not closed categories but movements of the same inquiry.

- Evanescences -

In “Evanescences” the matter dissolves and recedes. The image appears as a distant memory, a vision just grasped, where the landscape becomes rarefied, unstable, suspended between presence and disappearance.

- Presences -

In “Presences” the painting thickens and takes shape. The matter emerges with greater intensity, yet retaining a dreamlike quality, like a form that reveals itself without ever fully defining itself.

- Apparitions -

In the “Apparitions” the light surfaces from dark depths. Space becomes more compact, and the horizon becomes a distant threshold, a direction toward which the gaze tends, guided by a luminous presence that manifests and withdraws at the same time.

Artist Statement

My work explores the fluid nature of water and its capacity to generate shapes, movement and light.

Through the use of watercolors, acrylics, inks and glazes, I translate this energy into abstract visions that bring silence, mystery and introspection.

I paint inner landscapes: suspended horizons, reflections, blossoms. Images that do not depict real places, but perceptual states hovering between apparition and dissolution.

I let the water guide the process, embracing imperfections and fleeting traces as an essential part of the work.

My research moves between lightness and matter, keeping an open space for interpretation.

Each work invites slowing down and breathing with the eyes.
