A Closer Look at the Work ®
The work, created in gouache and ink on paper, radiates intense graphic energy within a vibrant field of color.
The background consists of a dense, rhythmic mesh of gestural strokes—orange, blue, green, and white—applied through smudging and cross-hatching.This colorful grid evokes a true pictorial palimpsest.
In the center, two dense clusters of black lines emerge, forming a double, almost symmetrical structure, like two forms that have exploded in a style reminiscent of lyrical abstraction.
The contemporary black frame emphasizes the graphic power of the composition.
