A look at the work ®

An abstract composition built around a network of fuchsia and white lines that structure the space with rhythm and balance, reminiscent of a contemporary stained-glass window.

The paintwork and layered ink give the piece a highly immediate physical presence. The palette combines deep blues and violets with more subtle reds and oranges, displaying a keen sensitivity to color through a interplay of nuances, tensions, and luminous harmonies.

Through the use of transparency, the layers of color allow the background to show through, enhancing the surface's depth. The work as a whole conveys a sense of movement and vibration. The influence of contemporaries such as Bazaine and Manessier is evident in this piece.
