Maurizio Valch

Maurizio Valch is a contemporary painter working within what he defines as Architectural Metaphysical Abstraction, exploring the genesis of metaphysical territories — landscapes where individual consciousness appears to emerge from the continuity of the earth. Through contemporary abstract painting, his work investigates the inner architecture of consciousness as a spatial phenomenon.

His work can be described as architectural minimal abstract painting, where minimal spatial structures, horizons and monolithic forms suggest territories of consciousness rather than represent specific landscapes.

His compositions construct geometric and spatial fields where monolithic forms, incised stairways, vertical axes and eclipsed bodies organize silence, tension and presence within disciplined architectural structures.

Working predominantly in 120 × 160 cm (48 × 63 inches), his large-scale paintings function as monumental yet restrained environments — structured balances between mass and void, horizon and suspension. These works establish the core of his institutional practice within Architectural Metaphysical Abstraction.

Selected pieces are developed in 80 × 120 cm (31 × 47 inches) as more concentrated and experimental investigations, maintaining the same architectural rigor while exploring intensified compositional compression.

Rooted in structural abstraction and influenced by archetypal psychology and Mediterranean spatial atmospheres, Valch’s practice does not narrate stories; it organizes perception. The monolith becomes a symbolic marker of consolidated identity and interiorized power formations. The incised stairway — revealed through subtraction of material — suggests inner ascent within rigid structures. Verticality becomes tension. The eclipse introduces metaphysical intervals where certainty recedes and contemplation emerges.

Rather than decorative expression, his work proposes spatial encounters structured through proportion, segmentation, and disciplined construction. Color operates as contained vibration; silence operates as structure.

His paintings are held in private collections in more than 19 countries and have been exhibited in Europe and the Americas, including venues such as the Real Círculo Artístico de Barcelona and the Gran Teatre del Liceu.

Valch’s work does not seek spectacle.
It constructs presence.
It organizes space.
It structures consciousness.
