The Man in the Stains" - Op.18
Enamels on canvas cm.70x70

"THE MAN IN THE STAIN" is a work created with synthetic enamels on canvas, characterised by an abstract composition of spots and intense colours that are seemingly arranged at random but reveal, upon closer inspection, a human face hidden among the shapes.

This duality between chaos and recognisability makes the painting both captivating and enigmatic. The work is an example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that explores deep emotions and abstract forms through gesture and colour. The freedom of execution and the ability to evoke an emotional connection with the viewer are reflected in its style, which focuses on the intensity of the moment and the spontaneity of the creative act. The title suggests an existential theme: the search for identity and meaning amid the disorder of life.
The human face emerging from the stains symbolises the presence of the individual in the complexity of the world, an invitation to seek hidden meanings even in the most fragmented and chaotic situations.
