Vertical abstract painting featuring five main horizontal bands. The top band is dark red and highly textured, with three elevated red three-dimensional squares in the upper right corner. Below it is a black band with pink vertical drips. This is followed by a bright yellow band with a brown circle on the right and small colored blocks in the lower left. The penultimate band is brownish-grey with textures and lines suggesting stairs. The bottom band is green. — Maurizio Valch's stratified composition, where matter, color, and form interact within a territory of abstract horizons and memory.

Conceptual Note

The canvas establishes itself as a foundational territory, divided by expansive chromatic fields stretching into horizontal bands. Each band reveals a distinct exploration of material and its density. The worked surface of each stratum, built through the superimposition of acrylic and oil, along with scraping and incision, forms a dense, evocative pictorial space where memory appears to settle. Small monolithic elements and geometric forms, some elevated from the surface, emerge with a clear structural presence.

The composition generates a vibrant contrast between intense red, deep black, luminous yellow, and earthy tones in the lower band, accentuated by the variable materiality of each stripe. This work establishes a constant visual tension between the apparent stillness of its defined horizons and the fracture introduced by vertical dripping lines in the black segment and stair-like marks in the lowest band. The interplay between these opposing forces invites a visual journey exploring the relationship between spatial order and the emergence of fragmentation.

The blocks dispersed across the yellow and earthy bands, alongside the three-dimensional elements in the upper section, act as markers within this internal landscape. These elemental forms not only add a tactile dimension to the work but also suggest a narrative of construction and erosion, where the memory of place and the appearance of form intertwine in profound stratification. The artwork thus invites contemplation of experience and its transformations without resorting to explicit representation.
