Interstice: Co-Author Series
Acrylic, gouache and mixed media on wood panel
130 × 120 cm
This work is part of my ongoing research around the idea of the “co-author”.
The painting began with a simple cross placed on the surface; an opening, an interstice. I first worked with gouache, then returned repeatedly to the panel, adding diagonal structures, layers, gestures and matter over time. The composition progressively revealed forms that were not entirely planned.
At first, I intended to paint clouds and lightning. But another structure emerged through the process: a triangular force that began organizing the entire space of the painting. It imposed its own balance, its own direction, almost as if the work itself was participating in its construction.
Depending on the orientation and the position of the viewer, the painting transforms. One reading evokes an aerial landscape above water and mountains; another suggests a storm scene with the presence of a bird in flight. The image is unstable, moving between abstraction and apparition.
This tension between intention and emergence is central to my work. I call this unknown presence the co-author: it may be intuition, subconscious memory, matter itself, chance, perception, or something spiritual that remains unnamed.
This piece occupies an important place within that research, which is why it remains deliberately positioned outside the scale of my more accessible works.
