Architectural Abstract Painting: Structure, Horizon and Silence
An introduction to Maurizio Valch's use of architectural structure in contemporary abstract painting.
Architectural abstract painting does not need to depict buildings. In Maurizio Valch's work, architecture appears as a structural principle: mass, horizon, proportion, threshold, and void.
This language allows the painting to operate as a spatial proposition rather than a decorative surface. The viewer enters a field where silence has weight and geometry carries psychological tension.
