The Roots of the Blue Night

Size: 30 cm x 42 cm, mixed media on paper

$750
The work unfolds through a layered, almost cinematic composition: overlapping planes guide the eye from left to right. On the left, a fragmented face (an intimate entry point for the viewer); at the center, an arboreal axis — branches, trunk, and roots; on the right, an elongated hand leading toward a multicolored bird. This creates a visual journey: face ? trunk/branches ? hand ? bird, suggesting a narrative thread (origin ? connection ? liberation/flight).

Ink and fine line drawing dominate the textures: variations in line weight (from delicate, nervous strokes to denser cross-hatching) define contours, shadows, and details. The branches are fragile, almost convulsive lines, contrasting with the firmer marks on the hands. This tension between fragile and energetic lines conveys both movement and memory.

About the Artist

I create because I must. Since childhood, drawing and painting have been my way of existing, of finding calm and rediscovering myself. My work stands at the intersection of graphic precision and painterly freedom—where the power of line meets the spontaneity of color.

Influenced by Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and the freedom of installation and movement, I embrace dripping, stains, and bold strokes as tools of sincerity. Each work becomes a space of exploration, where chaos and tenderness coexist, and where viewers are invited to confront their own emotions, vulnerabilities, and hidden landscapes.
