A vertical abstract painting with diagonal planes in ochre, brown, and dark blue. At the top, a dark rectangular block sits against a hazy yellow background. Fine incised white lines outline the edges of the color fields as they zigzag downward. In the bottom right corner, a small, bright white rectangle with defined edges stands out. The textured surface shows subtle scraping and layered marks.

TENSUM

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

A vertical abstract painting in intense crimson red with tonal variations. Four thin, slightly diagonal white lines divide the composition horizontally. Upon each line rests a small white rectangular block with scraped textures, arranged in a stepped, ascending pattern from right to left. The red background displays subtle textures of brushstrokes and glazes.

ADITUS

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

A horizontal abstract painting with a dark background in deep blue and black, divided by thin white horizontal lines.

A vertical abstract painting featuring a textured vertical band in reddish-orange with a bright yellow edge on the left. The background is a large field of dark cobalt blue. On the center and right, thin horizontal and diagonal white lines support a medium red square on the upper right and a smaller red square below. Fine lines outline open rectangular shapes along the white lines.
SITUS

GRADUS

47.2 × 63 in / 120 × 160 cm

Vertical abstract painting with a large central indigo blue field divided by thin diagonal incised lines. At the top, a bright red square stands out against a dark brown background. Two yellow blocks occupy the far lateral edges. Small red, black, and light blue squares are distributed across the surface. The base features a dense, textured horizontal red band.
SITUS

COACTUS

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

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.
EMERSIO

LIMEN

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

Vertical abstract painting with predominant orange, blue, and dark tones.

EMERSIO

CUSTODES

31.5 × 47.2 in / 80 × 120 cm

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.
PRIMORDIUM

VIA SOLIS

47.2 × 31.5 in / 120 × 80 cm

Horizontal abstract painting featuring a large rectangular red block on the left set against a deep blue sky, with a diffused white light point on the right.
