Horizontal abstract painting 'STRATA VIII - TRIA' by Maurizio Valch. It features a vast blue-green color field, textured with impasto and scraping. Three rectangular carmine red blocks, with subtle outlines, appear to float: one large on the right, a smaller one top-left, and a third smaller one bottom-center. Fine incised white lines cross the surface.
Maurizio Valch, 'STRATA VIII - TRIA'. An abstract painting from the STRATA series, exploring inner territory, matter, and surface tension through color fields and monolithic forms.

TRIA — Context Study

Unlike figurative representations that define space with concrete references, in this painting, spatial tension arises from the contrast between a vast emerald color field and the compelling presence of red geometric forms that, like monoliths, seem to float or take root in a subtly incisive horizon.

The work's materiality is built through a combination of acrylic and oil on canvas. Valch's process is evident in the rich surface textures, dense impasto in the upper area, glazes that give depth to the lower field, and incisions that traverse the plane. This results from successive applications with a palette knife, scraping, and layering, evoking a geological landscape or a worked hide.

Within the 'STRATA' series, this piece aligns with Maurizio Valch's exploration of territory as a surface of origin and memory. Here, suspended blocks and horizontal lines function as 'strata' and 'spatial divisions' that do not illustrate, but rather construct a space for contemplation, order, and fracture, inviting an open interpretation of matter, body, or place of appearance within a sober and melancholic atmosphere.
