Technique & Materiality: Bark (23 x 32 cm) is an exercise in protection and structural depth. Using acrylic and plaster on canvas, the artist builds a rugged skin that simulates natural protection. The plaster becomes a sculptural element here, gaining body over the fabric of the canvas, while red and black acrylics suggest a latent energy. The contrast of finishes allows the light to highlight the textural ridges, reminiscent of the texture of sun-drenched cliffs.
Philosophy & Future Vision: The philosophy of Bark explores the concept of the “limit” between the interior and the exterior. It is a Pop look at organic textures that often go unnoticed. The piece projects a future vision based on “New Materialism,” where the art feels alive and changing according to the ambient lighting. It is a work designed for collectors seeking a physical and sensory connection with painting.
