Sergio Romero - Núcleo en expansión

Canvas prepared to mount on a 92x65 cm frame. It is delivered in a rigid tube and rolled.

This work is part of a recent pictorial research in which automatic gesture, spatial structure, and symbolic repetition become a single visual language. Although at first glance they may seem impulsive or spontaneous, each one arises from a process of observation and refinement derived from a much more architectural and precise previous work, developed for years through markers, linear drawing, and manual construction of space.

In this new series, that precision does not disappear: it transforms.

The line stops behaving solely as contour or structure and begins to act also as energy, rhythm, and physical expansion on the surface. The gesture is released, but an internal system of organization continues to exist. Signs repeat, paths cross, tensions balance, and space is delimited by an invisible architecture that supports the entire composition.

Each work functions as a mental map in motion: layers of memory, impulses, routes, and emotional structures that coexist within the same plane. The apparent chaos is crossed by conscious decisions about density, void, balance, saturation, and visual direction.

The repetition of frames, orbits, nerve lines, and circular cores generates a recognizable grammar across the series. It is not a matter of accident or pure automatism, but an investigation into how to translate thought, tension, and sensitivity into a contemporary pictorial handwriting.

Acrylic paint here replaces part of the rigidity of technical drawing with a more corporeal and physical presence. The work is no longer only built: it also happens. The stroke preserves the memory of movement, of time, and of the direct gesture, always maintaining the same visual signature that defines the whole of the research.

These pieces oscillate between:

drawing and painting,
control and expansion,
architecture and automatism,
writing and abstraction.

The result is a series that proposes a language of its own, where gestural intensity coexists with a rigorous internal structure and where each composition acts as a direct extension of a mental, emotional, and spatial system in permanent transformation.
