In this work the surface becomes a geological landscape. Cement, spread and shaped with gestures that evoke construction and ruin alike, generates a dense, layered texture: overlapping blocks, horizontal furrows, reliefs that cast their own shadows according to the angle of incident light. The image is not painted but built, as though the artist had excavated a cross-section of a city to reveal its hidden skeleton.

Mineral pigments emerge with parsimony and precision: patches of cobalt blue and hints of ochre yellow punctuate the ashen monochrome like fragments of life that have survived the prevailing grey. A slender rectangle incised in the central field suggests a threshold, a walled-up door or a lightless window, around which the matter thickens as though seeking protection or memory.

The composition balances architectural rigour and organic chance. The upper band, smoother and more uniform, contrasts with the middle and lower zones where the relief grows more irregular and fragmented, conveying the idea of a controlled collapse, of an order that slowly undoes itself without losing dignity. A work to be listened to as much as seen.
