This unique physical creation treats two independent paper surfaces as an analytical laboratory for spatial dynamics, letting raw acrylic pigments, paper edge lines, and strict collage proportions converge to deconstruct the representative form. Born from a search to leave aside the narrative figurative and reduce the image to shape and colour, the arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm where found imagery and sketches from her personal palette are recycled in a self-referential way. The vertical arrangement of the left panel piles blocks of sharp red, olive, and navy fields, while the right panel coordinates an organic, curving constellation of pastel pink, crimson, and turquoise segments over an open cream matrix void.
This series is born from a search to leave aside the narrative figurative and reduce the image to shape and colour. Starts with both images found as well as her own images, previous pieces, from her palette, from drawings, in a self-referential way.
