Description:

This triptych belongs to the series Suspended Horizons, and in particular to the branch Presences, in which painting becomes more concrete, physical, attraversata by a tension between surface and depth.

The three canvases, designed as a unitary whole yet viewable individually, develop through stratifications, glazes, and material interventions that build a living surface, almost epidermal. The color densifies and opens into light zones, creating a balance between immersion and breath.

The golden accents, realized in acrylic, emerge as traces integrated into the painting matter, contributing to create vibration without ever becoming a decorative element.

On My Skin evokes a direct, sensory perception: painting as contact, as a surface that holds and returns experience. An inner landscape that is not merely observed, but perceived.

Unique work.

The colors may vary slightly depending on the screen.

Project Statement
Suspended Horizons

This work belongs to my artistic path dedicated to Suspended Horizons, a research born from the encounter between water and intuition. In these canvases, the fluid matter shapes interior 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 rarefied fields, evoking silence, waiting, and the breath of a suspended time. In some works, essential signs emerge — stylized blooms, floating corollas, reflected trees — symbolic presences that amplify the meditative and dreamlike dimension without imposing a defined narrative.

The series forms a process in becoming, open to gestural and formal variations, faithful to a poetics of non-saying and threshold. Within this research three expressive modalities take shape, which are not closed categories but movements of the same inquiry.

- Evanescences -

In the "Evanescences" the matter dissolves and withdraws. The image appears as a distant memory, a barely grasped vision, in which 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, while maintaining a dreamy quality, like a form that reveals itself without ever fully defining itself.

- Apparitions -

In the "Apparitions" light emerges from dark depths. Space becomes more gathered, 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 ability to generate forms, 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 interior landscapes: suspended horizons, reflections, blooms. Images that do not represent real places, but perceptual states hovering between appearance and dissolution.

I let 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 you to slow down and breathe with your eyes.
