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.

SIGNUM

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

Vertical abstract painting, STRATA XI — ASCENSUS. A dominant dark green field. At the top, a large red rectangular form emerges from a dense, textured horizontal line with dark, red, and blue tones. Two smaller red rectangular forms flank the main one, rising from the same line. Below, a dark rectangular block with touches of red and blue lies isolated.
STRATA

ASCENSUS

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

A vertical abstract painting featuring a deep indigo blue background with subtle chromatic variations. Four irregular rectangular blocks of textured crimson red are distributed asymmetrically across the surface. Fine, white incised lines traverse the canvas horizontally and diagonally, connecting the red blocks. The woven texture of the canvas is visible beneath the layered acrylic and oil paint.
STRATA

SUBMERSA

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

Horizontal abstract painting featuring a vast field in reddish-brown tones. Rectangular color blocks are prominent: a large bright turquoise one in the upper left, a smaller red one in the upper right, and another red block next to a black block in the lower center. A black rectangular shape is in the lower right. Thin white incised lines cross the surface horizontally, suggesting strata. Texture is visible within the color fields.
STRATA

FISSURA

47.2 × 31.5 in / 120 × 80 cm

Vertical abstract painting by Maurizio Valch. Dominant dark blue and brown tones are divided by horizontal bands. Small rectangular blocks in red, yellow, and white, alongside incised lines, are distributed across the composition. In the lower right, a small staircase ascends towards an opening in a dark plane. The surface features visible textures and paint drips.
LIMINA

ADITUS

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

A horizontal abstract painting with a dark background in deep blue and black, divided by thin white horizontal lines. Five small square elements—two outlined in white and three filled with bright red—are positioned along these lines at varying heights. A solid, vibrant red band runs horizontally across the entire bottom edge of the canvas.
SITUS

SINGULA

47.2 × 31.5 in / 120 × 80 cm

A vertical abstract painting featuring a textured vertical band in reddish-orange with a bright yellow edge on the left. The background is a large field of dark cobalt blue. On the center and right, thin horizontal and diagonal white lines support a medium red square on the upper right and a smaller red square below. Fine lines outline open rectangular shapes along the white lines.
SITUS

GRADUS

47.2 × 63 in / 120 × 160 cm

Vertical abstract painting with a large central indigo blue field divided by thin diagonal incised lines. At the top, a bright red square stands out against a dark brown background. Two yellow blocks occupy the far lateral edges. Small red, black, and light blue squares are distributed across the surface. The base features a dense, textured horizontal red band.
SITUS

COACTUS

EMERSIO

CUSTODES

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

A horizontal abstract painting featuring angular, geometric structures in orange and yellow, receding into the background to create an architectural landscape. A white diagonal path crosses the composition towards the right, and a yellow circle appears in the upper left against a pale pink sky. Details such as a bright green rectangle and small, ladder-like incisions are visible on the surfaces of the structures.
PRIMORDIUM

VIA SOLIS

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.
