About the work
This painting, created with oil and knife on linen canvas, unfolds a symphony of horizontal lines that invite the viewer on an inner journey. The composition features subtly layered colors, ranging from intense black to deep blue, with touches of ochre and terracotta that seem to evoke an abstract vision of the horizon.
The knife work brings a rich and vibrant texture, giving the surface an almost tactile quality. Each knife stroke creates delicate reliefs, reflecting light differently depending on the angle, thus adding a unique depth. This technique enhances the contrast between dark colors and lighter shades, accentuating the density of each hue.
This "Landscape of the Soul" resembles an exploration of the inner world. The layers of color symbolize emotional layers, intimate landscapes where shadow and light, silence and whisper meet. The generous format of this canvas allows the gaze to dive in, navigate, and discover a soothing and mysterious ambiance, a space that seems to resonate with the infinite.
