Untitled (from the Deserto-Modelo series)

2017

This oil painting presents a nearly monochromatic field of gestural, directional brushwork in shades of gray and charcoal. The composition is largely non representational, with visible horizontal striations and layered marks that suggest movement across the canvas surface. A subtle tonal shift toward darker values in the lower portion creates a shallow sense of spatial recession, while the overall effect evokes both weathered stone surfaces and atmospheric conditions. The work demonstrates restraint in palette and deliberate, measured application of paint.
