Contemporary abstract painting for slow perception
Valch’s work is built for slow perception: controlled mass, material presence and spatial clarity. The paintings function as contemplative presences rather than decorative abstractions.
The catalog is not arranged as a store. It is a visual index of original works, contextual studies, conceptual notes and a quiet distinction between works in the studio and works already placed.
Artist identity
Painting as sedimented structure
At the center of this language stands the ground: layers, incisions, divisions and presences through which matter and memory become visible. The work remains open, avoiding fixed symbolic readings.
STRATA
STRATA brings together abstract paintings in which the surface becomes a territory of pressure, cutting and duration. Amid dense chromatic fields, compact blocks and incisions, Maurizio Valch situates memory as a material trace rather than a decipherable narrative.
LIMINAIn LIMINA, Maurizio Valch constructs territories of transit through superimposed planes, contained horizons, unstable enclosures, and suspended forms. The painting sustains an elemental architecture while seepage, drips, and incisions introduce a mobility that prevents any definitive orientation.
SITUSSITUS brings together abstract paintings in which the position of a form, the distance separating it from another, and the activity of empty space construct a territory of relations. Maurizio Valch works with lines, edges, shifts in level, and fields of colour as conditions of presence rather than signs within a closed narrative.
EMERSIOIn EMERSIO, Maurizio Valch addresses the uncertain instant when a form begins to distinguish itself from the territory that contained it. Fields of colour, horizons, and structures under tension give substance to an emergence that remains vulnerable, situated between landscape, architecture, and presence.
MARE SOMNIORUMMARE SOMNIORUM transforms Maurizio Valch’s Mediterranean experience into an open pictorial territory, where horizon, silence, and isolated structures retain the intensity of a place without describing it literally. His paintings sustain a distance between what has been lived and what has been imagined, between movement and stillness.
FACIESThe «FACIES» series by Maurizio Valch explores contemporary abstract face painting. These works, realized in acrylic and oil on canvas, present structural art of fragmented faces, where identity emerges as an evolving surface – a visual coexistence of forms, gazes, and silences.
VORTEXThe Maurizio Valch VORTEX series presents an original contemporary abstract painting on canvas. These works, executed in acrylic and oil, explore the dynamics of attraction and transformation through concentric forms and distinctive material textures, creating a visually powerful space.
