The Artwork

Traces.

The composition is divided between rough plaster and an exposed brick column. At the base of the wall, an old metal valve emerges timidly from the shadow. In the center, a cushion of brilliant green moss catches the light and breaks the chromatic monotony.

The pictorial illusion celebrates the encounter between discordant elements. The oil on canvas harmonizes the coldness of the iron, the warmth of the terracotta, and the vitality of the moss. The observer is called to discover the minute details of this urban map. The artist's dedication ennobles forgotten corners.

The work radiates a silent vitality. Decaying matter becomes the fertile ground for new life. It is a poetic vision, capable of instilling a profound serenity.

The artist's voice

"Life always is reborn where matter surrenders. A thread of moss has the strength to illuminate an entire landscape."
