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.
