Matrica

The painting consists of numerous small, square and rectangular panels assembled together like a tiled mosaic. Each panel features its unique composition, predominantly in a monochromatic palette splashed with occasional hints of blue, yellow, and rust. The textures are gritty and layered, suggesting wear and age, with heavy brush strokes and what appears to be the effects of corrosion or weathering.Various motifs permeate the collection of panels: abstract swirling patterns, geometric shapes, streaks that mimic brushstrokes or scrapes, and shadowy figures that are only partially discernible. One notes the outline of a human profile in some tiles, while others contain circular forms that may represent mechanical parts or celestial bodies. There are conduits that look like wiring or plumbing, grids that resemble checkerboards, and fragmented objects that defy immediate recognition.In several panels, keyholes, knobs, and lock impressions emerge, suggesting themes of opening, closing, and securing. Each panel offers a vignette, a small visual narrative that stands alone yet contributes to the overarching sense of an intricate, interconnected network. The entire array is mounted on what seems like a rugged wooden structure with visible bolts and hinges, accentuating the theme of compartmentalization and containment.
