STRATA XII — SUBMERSA — Context Study

“STRATA XII — SUBMERSA” presents a visual field dominated by a deep, almost indigo blue, covering most of the vertical composition, characteristic of contemporary abstract painting. Across this vast expanse, a system of fine lines, rendered in white or pale blue, traverses and divides the space into oblique sections, evoking subtle strata or currents. Four rectangular forms of a vibrant red-orange punctuate different points on the canvas, acting as accents that draw the eye and mark the surface of this territory. Created with acrylic and oil on canvas, the artwork features a surface with glazes and subtle incisions, adding a tactile dimension to its chromatic depth. Tension arises from the interplay between the blue's apparent calm and the concentrated energy of the red blocks, which seem to float or be anchored within a subaquatic space. The gaze moves across these divisions and color points, inviting silent contemplation of an inner or submerged landscape, characteristic of the STRATA series.
