Traces deploys a subtle layering of sky, horizon, and ground, in an earthy and nuanced palette. The work seems sculpted from the memory of the landscape, as if each pictorial layer carried within it an ancient imprint.
In the lower band, a deep ochre red, the artist introduces a discreet collage, integrated into the material. This textured fragment evokes sediments, geological strata, or perhaps the invisible scars of a landscape traversed by time. The confrontation between the density of the collage and the fluidity of the sky’s glazes creates a poetic balance between anchoring and lightness.
Traces thus becomes a work about what remains—what resists erasure—in matter as well as in memory. A silent tension runs through the canvas, between abstraction and reminiscence.
Framed in a black or natural wood American box, this oil on canvas enriched with collage is part of a plastic research on the memory of places and the material of time.
