Maurizio Valch Abstract Painting / Territory and Thought
A horizontal abstract painting featuring angular, geometric structures in orange and yellow, receding into the background to create an architectural landscape. A white diagonal path crosses the composition towards the right, and a yellow circle appears in the upper left against a pale pink sky. Details such as a bright green rectangle and small, ladder-like incisions are visible on the surfaces of the structures.

Conceptual Note

Part of the PRIMORDIUM series, Maurizio Valch’s "VIA SOLIS" is a horizontal painting that exemplifies the artist's structural and brutalist sensibility. The composition is built from large blocks of orange, yellow, and red, arranged to create a profound sense of depth and an expansive horizon. A prominent diagonal path and stepped elements suggest a journey or a threshold, inviting an interpretation that balances stillness with transformation. Layers and textures, achieved through a process combining acrylic and oil with glazes and incisions, give the surface a material quality that evokes divided territories and stratified memories. A circular form suspended in the pale pink sky, along with the subtle presence of ladder-like incisions, adds a silent and meditative dimension to this contemporary abstract painting, executed using acrylic and oil on canvas.
