The work was created through a gestural, layered painting process in which the paint is allowed to flow freely across the surface. Glazes, drips, and layers of sediment create a vibrant texture that evokes depth, immersion, and memory.

The colors intertwine, creating an intense, organic composition that hovers between abstraction and inner landscape. Each mark preserves the trace of the gesture, making the work unique and impossible to reproduce.

Color is at the heart of my painting practice.
Each work emerges from a deep relationship with color as a material—with the way it expands, overlaps, is absorbed, and transforms over time.

Through color, I seek to give form to inner states, emotional passages, and memories that cannot always be put into words. I am interested in its ability to alter the weight of things: to transform fragility into presence, suspension into intensity, and depth into visual energy.

In every work, I want color not merely to be seen, but to be felt: as a living trace, capable of engaging with the gaze and inner world of the viewer.

Professional shipping in a protective box via international express courier.

Side margins: the work includes an additional technical margin on each side, suitable for mounting or stretching onto a frame. In this case, the margin is approximately 5 cm on each side and is partially painted. These edges are to be considered part of the main image.

Shipments are entrusted to international express couriers such as FedEx or equivalent, with the utmost care taken to protect the work and ensure its safe delivery. I will personally track the shipment and remain available to provide assistance if needed.

Any delays attributable to the courier are beyond my direct control. If the destination requires extraordinary shipping costs or surcharges due to a remote location or particular logistical circumstances, any additional amount will be communicated to the buyer before shipping. If the corresponding additional payment is not made, it will not be possible to proceed with shipment.

The work can be oriented in different directions, allowing viewers the freedom to choose how it is displayed.

Colors may vary slightly depending on the lighting when the photographs were taken, the device used to view them, and the camera's color rendering.

Some of the photos have been created using mock-ups solely to show the work in different spaces, so in many cases the dimensions shown may not correspond to reality. Please consult the painting description and measurements to confirm its exact size.
