About the work
- Framed in black floater frame
The painting stands out for its composition of horizontal bands stacked one above the other, reminiscent of natural or symbolic stratification. These lines create a strong visual rhythm, evoking both stability and movement. The arrangement of successive layers builds a dynamic tension while guiding the viewer's eye across the different sections of color.
Palette and Colors
The color palette is dominated by deep shades of blue, accented by touches of ochre, gold, and off-white. The intense and pervasive blue evokes elements such as water, sky, or primordial forces. The golden and ochre bands introduce a contrasting warmth that energizes the composition, while black serves to structure and visually ground the piece. These chromatic oppositions convey a vibrant, almost electric energy.
Texture and Material
The texture appears rich and layered, likely achieved through the use of a palette knife or broad brushstrokes. This textural complexity enhances the tactile and expressive quality of the work. Areas where the paint seems scraped or partially erased add an element of imperfection, contributing to the authenticity of the message.
