About the work

A minimalist abstract work in which a monochrome turquoise field opens up through a fine web of cracks. The central line of the fracture becomes the main visual accent, recalling a fragile gesture or the trace of an inner movement.

The textured surface with soft colour transitions creates a sense of depth and living material, while mosaic inclusions inside the crack heighten the effect of rupture and repair. The work balances between the calm of colour and the tension of form.
