Description — English

Corte Silente · Nº 1 is an abstract artwork dominated by an almost absolute black surface, subtly interrupted by a restrained horizontal fracture that traverses the composition. This line functions as a silent cut—a controlled interruption that introduces tension without disrupting the overall stillness of the piece.

The work is deliberately minimal and contained. The surface remains compact and sober, with subtle textures and restrained gestures that reinforce the sensation of control and limitation. There is no accumulation of matter or expressive excess; instead, the composition focuses on boundary, structure, and the quiet presence of a contained rupture.

The piece explores silence as a fragile state, capable of being broken without noise or violence. The cut does not expand or erupt; it remains held within the dark field, generating a persistent yet understated tension. This controlled fracture becomes the central element, suggesting a moment where balance is challenged but not lost.

Subtle variations in texture and finish react to changes in light, revealing delicate reliefs that add depth and nuance while preserving the work’s austere, restrained, and contemporary character.
