STRATA XIII — FISSURA — Context Study

Set against a deep color field that evokes sedimentary earth, the painting STRATA XIII — FISSURA unfolds horizontally, inviting a contemplative reading of its divisions and forms. Subtle, irregular incised lines trace an abstract geography that fragments the space, creating contained horizons. A rectangular block in turquoise blue, situated in the upper left section, emerges with a sharp presence, contrasting with the reddish background. Other small red and black squares are precisely distributed, punctuating the surface. Executed with acrylic and oil on canvas, the work reveals layers of pigment and textures that allude to geology or material memory. The tension between the stillness of the main color and the appearance of these sharp forms, together with the lines defining its territory, prompts reflection on structure and transformation, rooted in the 'fissure' that titles the piece.
