The irridescent square

About This Work
This acrylic mixed‑media painting unfolds as a dense, tactile construction built from torn paper, packaging remnants, metallic elements, and painted textures. The palette moves between black, red, blue, green, and beige, each color layered in uneven, weathered patches that create the sensation of a surface shaped by time, friction, and human touch.
Across the composition, fragments of printed material — including blue pieces with crisp white text — act like urban signals embedded in the artwork. They introduce a graphic rhythm, contrasting sharply with the more organic, painterly areas. These text fragments feel like clues from a larger narrative, as if the painting is assembled from the debris of a journey, a memory, or a dismantled object.
On the left side, twelve metallic rings arranged in a grid bring a mechanical, almost industrial order to the piece. Their repetition creates a visual cadence, echoing the logic of machinery or architectural fixtures. Near the bottom right, a metallic square frame with a perforated pattern becomes the focal point — the “iridescent square” itself. It reflects light subtly, giving the work a sculptural dimension and anchoring the surrounding chaos with a precise geometric presence.
Acrylic spray and paint, charcoal, ink, various fragments from newspapers and magazines, colored pencils and a wooden panel.
