Abstract painting / Territory and Thought
Maurizio Valch
Maurizio Valch is a visual artist working between abstraction, symbolic structure and metaphysical landscape. His paintings construct territories rather than depict places: fields of silence, passage, sediment, horizon and presence.
His current work explores how thought, structure and consciousness seem to emerge from the ground. Through strata, monolithic presences, incised lines and chromatic fields, Valch builds pictorial spaces where landscape becomes a field of perception rather than a representation of nature.
His practice has evolved through a continuous investigation into inner force, divided identity, territory and ground frequency. From the spiral movement of Inner Vortex, through the fragmented surfaces of Stratified Faces, to the territorial language of Structural Metaphysical Painting and Strata, his work traces how form and thought appear to take shape within the pictorial field.
Artist statement
Statement Excerpt
Valch’s work explores painting as a territory in formation. Horizons, monolithic forms, strata and incised lines become signs of emergence: not representations of landscape, but structures of perception, silence and thought.
His recent work moves between two perceptual conditions: Diurnal and Nocturnal Territories. Day reveals structure, horizon and spatial order. Night intensifies silence, depth and suspended presence.
Across large-scale formats, especially 120 × 160 cm, the paintings construct fields where matter, distance and consciousness seem to organize themselves within the pictorial surface.
