Description from the seller
This work forms part of a recent pictorial investigation 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 stemming from a much more architectural and precise previous work, developed over years using marker, linear drawing, and manual construction of space.
In this new series, that precision does not disappear: it transforms.
The line ceases to behave solely as contour or structure and begins to act also as energy, rhythm, and physical expansion on the surface. The gesture is freed, but there remains an internal system of organization. Signs repeat, paths cross, tensions balance, and space is delineated by an invisible architecture that sustains the whole composition.
Each work functions like a moving mental map: layers of memory, impulses, paths, and emotional structures that coexist within the same plane. The apparent chaos is interwoven with conscious decisions about density, void, balance, saturation, and visual direction.
The repetition of frames, orbits, nerve lines, and circular cores generates a grammar of its own recognizable across the series. It is not a matter of accident nor pure automatism, but of an inquiry into how to translate thought, tension, and sensitivity into contemporary pictorial writing.
Acrylic paint here replaces part of the rigidity of technical drawing with a more bodily and physical presence. The work is no longer merely constructed: it also happens. The stroke preserves the memory of movement, of time, and of direct gesture, always maintaining the same visual stamp that defines the whole of the investigation.
These pieces oscillate between:
drawing and painting,
control and expansion,
architecture and automatism,
writing and abstraction.
The result is a series that proposes its own visual language, 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.
