“I want to force everything that’s happening in the studio onto the canvas.” Secundino Hernández

A dynamic interplay of gestural marks, layered textures, and vibrant color fields fills the canvas in this large-scale mixed-media work by Madrid-based artist Secundino Hernández. Combining gouache, acrylic, alkyd, and oil, Hernández builds up the surface through an energetic process of application and erasure, allowing the physical act of painting itself to remain visible. The result is an abstraction that feels simultaneously raw and deliberate, capturing the immediacy and tension of the studio as a living, active space.
