STRATA X — SIGNUM — Context Study

"STRATA X — SIGNUM" is an abstract painting from Maurizio Valch's "STRATA" series, a body of work that explores the stratified depth of experience through territory as a surface of origin and transformation. The composition is built by accumulating layers of acrylic and oil on canvas, revealing an intense materiality that evokes both geological landscapes and the very surface of skin. Fields of deep indigo blue intersect with precise incisions and vibrant carmine red marks, creating a tension between stillness and fracture, order and erosion. Valch employs a mixed media technique integrating impasto and scraping, accentuating the textured surface. This piece manifests the artist's brutalist and minimalist sensibility, where spatial divisions and elemental forms invite a visual interpretation grounded in what is visible, without imposing external narratives. It is a work of territorial abstraction that engages with memory and structure, offering a space for contained contemplation.
