Maurizio Valch (1972) - (XL) Compages · Small structures in a shifting field

Across a field of burning orange, horizontal bands of crimson, ochre and violet accumulate like sediment, weather, or a horizon repeatedly revised. The artist refuses a fixed landscape: scraped, translucent layers hold motion and delay at once. Dense dark strokes interrupt the glow, making the surface feel less like a view than a record of light passing through time.

I wanted to remain inside the unstable moment when warmth can become pressure and light can carry weight. Painting lets me stay with what cannot be resolved into an image or a statement: the slow movement of attention, memory, and feeling. I build and disturb the surface until it holds both intensity and rest, a place where I can sense change without needing to name it.

I am interested in how a form can remain isolated and still alter what surrounds it. I do not seek to make these marks describe a path or have their relationships resolve into a recognizable figure. I work with the possibility that a surface can retain traces of passage, boundaries, and presences that never fully reveal themselves. Sometimes, a minimal distance between two elements is enough to change the meaning of the entire territory.
