REDARKNES·S - Acrylics on canvas, 112 × 112 cm
These paintings build a territory between the recognizable and the imagined. From an essential palette of blacks, grays, and whites, the painted matter becomes landscape, memory, and trace. The surfaces appear fragmented, eroded, and rebuilt through stains, gestures, transparencies, and geometric weaves that coexist with a more free and organic gesturality.
The image seems to emerge from an accumulation of matter. The dark center concentrates the gaze and functions as a kind of expanding nucleus, while the brushstrokes surrounding it suggest movement, vegetation, rock, or a nature subject to continuous transformation. Light does not come from a single point: it appears between the layers, in small voids and white fragments that make the composition vibrate.
An architecture-like structure is introduced. Grids, modules, and texture fields organize the apparent chaos and establish a tension between order and overflow. The landscape ceases to be a literal representation to become an experience: something to pass through, to remember, and finally to reconstruct through fragments.
In these works, the territory is not described; it is experienced. The painting functions as an emotional map in which nature, memory, and human intervention coexist. The geometric forms seem to be remnants of a rational structure that the painting material itself strives to undo. From this confrontation emerges a powerful, almost archaeological image, where each layer seems to contain the trace of another earlier one.
The square format of 112 × 112 cm reinforces this frontal, enveloping experience: the viewer cannot easily find an entry or exit point, but is trapped on a surface that expands in all directions.
These are works that speak, in the end, of concrete places without being limited to them. The painting thus becomes a space of sedimentation: a place where lived, observed, and imagined things end up forming a single matter.
