About this series

Maurizio Valch's EMERSIO series features original contemporary abstract painting. Crafted with acrylic and oil on canvas, these works explore the moment forms emerge from the territory, creating a territorial and minimalist abstraction through textured and stratified surfaces.

Maurizio Valch's EMERSIO series delves into the threshold where forms begin to separate from the territory and assert their presence. These original contemporary abstract paintings, created with acrylic and oil on canvas, explore the emergence of unstable structures through a process combining layers of color, glazes, impasto, and incisions. In EMERSIO, Maurizio Valch builds a territorial and minimalist abstraction through textured and stratified surfaces, where expansive color fields, horizons, and monolithic forms suggest a tension between construction and precariousness. The series captures that ambiguous instant when something emerges and organizes itself, not yet a fixed identity, retaining the inherent fragility of its origin.

Works in this series

Vertical abstract painting titled 'LIMEN' by Maurizio Valch. The composition features a large central field of light blue and white tones, flanked by a vertical yellow band on the left and a dark navy blue and black angular structure on the right. A band of intense red color extends across the bottom. Small rectangular forms and fine incised lines, some in pink or lime green, are distributed across the surface, suggesting spatial divisions and underlying structures.
