SPIRITUAL SONG n 68 - acrylic painting by roberto tagliazucchi

In Spiritual Song 68, darkness dominates the composition, interrupted only by subtle and delicate marks that discreetly emerge from the surface. A white horizontal fissure crosses the canvas like a scar, while a barely perceptible vertical line, blurred yet luminous, seems to struggle upward from the depths of the scene. The work stands out for its essentiality and strong material presence, where black is not just an absence of light but a dense, almost tangible entity. The minimal marks suggest an inner tension, a silent movement struggling to fully manifest. Compared to other works in the series, the revelation here is even more subtle and fragile, as if the light hesitates before surfacing.

The result is an image of deep introspection, a visual song unfolding in silence, evoking the struggle between shadow and the possibility of a luminous presence.
