Maurizio Valch (1972) - (XL) QUIES · Held between uneven borders

Across a dark, shifting terrain, the painting holds its forms at the edge of recognition: bands of muted green, earth and smoke are cut by trembling pale lines, while a small white block glints in the upper field and a deep green rectangle settles below. The work asks how a place becomes inward space. Its fragile linear seams make the landscape feel both mapped and unsettled, as if memory were still moving beneath the surface. I needed to paint a place that could contain uncertainty without explaining it. I am drawn to the moment when a boundary is not a wall but a pulse: something that separates, protects, and still allows passage. The dark areas carry what I cannot name directly; the quieter planes offer a temporary ground. Painting lets me stay with this tension, where disorientation can become attention and silence can remain open rather than empty. ___ I am interested in how a form can remain isolated and still alter what surrounds it. I do not seek to make these marks describe a path or have their relationships resolve into a recognizable figure. I work with the possibility that a surface can retain traces of passage, boundaries, and presences that never fully reveal themselves. Sometimes, a minimal distance between two elements is enough to change the meaning of the entire territory. **Condition and Shipping** The artwork is in excellent condition, with no damage or restoration. It is shipped unframed and unstretched, carefully rolled inside a protective tube to ensure safe delivery. **About the Artist** Maurizio Valch is a visual artist, writer, and graphic designer. His work explores metaphysical territories, symbolic landscapes, and the relationship between geological space and human consciousness. Through dark fields, incised surfaces, monolithic forms, and structural divisions, Valch creates paintings that suggest the emergence of perception within the territory itself.
