P.A.F. - Forgotten Geometries

Forgotten Geometries (2025)
88 × 58 cm, mixed media on canvas

“Forgotten Geometries” is a dynamic abstract composition that explores the tension between structure and spontaneity. Layered textures, incised lines, and bold color fields—ranging from deep blacks and vivid yellows to soft lavenders and fiery reds—create a visually rich surface that invites prolonged observation. At its core, a fragmented geometric form emerges, overlaid with scattered typographic elements, suggesting traces of language, memory, or coded meaning partially lost in time.

The work balances controlled composition with expressive gestures, where raised contours and tactile marks add depth and physical presence. The interplay between sharp geometry and fluid, almost topographical lines evokes a sense of rediscovery—like uncovering remnants of a forgotten visual system or map.

This piece stands out through its strong visual impact and material complexity, making it a compelling addition to contemporary interiors or collections focused on modern abstract art.
