Fracture and Return

Fracture and Return explores the hidden dialogue between transformation, time, and material identity.

The artwork is conceived as a field of continuous evolution, where painting becomes a site of physical and symbolic metamorphosis. The oxidized copper, treated through a controlled chemical process, introduces the dimension of time onto the surface: corrosion is recontextualized not as decay, but as a form of memory.

The radial structure, divided into sectors by a golden fracture running through its vertical axis, evokes cycles of formation, fragmentation, and regeneration. This geometric core anchors a profound chromatic tension between a nocturnal, cosmic upper field and a visceral, telluric red lower space. Here, the gold does not mark a repair applied afterward, but the very line along which the composition organizes itself.

Gold leaf, pigments, and copper threads create a stratified surface where different materials coexist as traces of a geological and emotional landscape.

The work does not merely represent matter; it reveals its capacity to transform itself.
