Maurizio Valch Abstract Painting / Territory and Thought
Vertical abstract painting by Maurizio Valch, "CUSTODES." The composition features two large, dark, angular forms rising from a red base. The background consists of horizontal stripes: a dark green upper stripe, a sky blue central stripe, and a dominant orange stripe. Layers of acrylic and oil show texture and fine incisions. The artwork leans on the floor against a white wall, bathed in lateral sunlight.
"CUSTODES," from Maurizio Valch's EMERSIO series. A vertical abstract painting where monolithic forms emerge from color fields, creating a territory of tension and quietude with acrylic and oil on canvas.

Context study / CUSTODES

CUSTODES — Context Study

From a perspective emphasizing its base, "CUSTODES" stands with a solid presence. Two monolithic forms, one in dark green tones and another in grays and blacks, rise from a deep red lower plane, suggesting protective or tectonic structures. The canvas is horizontally divided by a broad orange band dominating the center, intersected by a fainter light blue stripe above it. The surface, crafted with acrylic and oil on canvas, reveals layers of pigment and subtle incisions that trace internal contours or divisions. These marks, alongside the juxtaposition of intense color blocks, construct a space that artist Valch defines as a territory of appearances. The vertical composition of "CUSTODES," part of the EMERSIO series, generates a tension between the stillness of the color fields and the ascending force of the forms, inviting a contained interpretation of matter and its emergence.
