yet their insertion into this torn structure suggests an inner rather than a physical landscape—a metaphor for transformation and change. Color is layered, with areas that seem worn by time, marked by pictorial and material interventions that enhance its sense of lived experience. The forms do not fit together perfectly, retaining the traces of their separation, like scars of a process that does not seek perfection but authenticity. The three-dimensionality resulting from the physical recomposition of pictorial matter gives the work a tangible presence—an object that exists not only in the two-dimensionality of the painting but in real space. In this work, the idea of metaphor becomes evident in the relationship between the artist’s gesture and the construction of the image: tearing, recomposing, transforming. It is an action that echoes how memory, identity, and human experience are shaped and rebuilt over time. The artwork thus becomes a reflection on the fragmentation of existence and the possibility of giving new meaning to past elements through a creative act that does not hide wounds but values them as an integral part of the process.
