Original artwork description:

This is a multilayered abstract painting created through a slow, process-based approach that combines natural materials, physical gesture, and painterly experimentation.

The work began with the direct application of real grapevine leaves onto the surface, which were later removed — leaving behind delicate traces and organic silhouettes. Sand, a piece of rope, and layers of acrylic paint were then added over several sessions, using techniques such as action painting, water spray to dissolve edges, color glazes, and paper stamping to build a tactile, living surface.

The final result is a poetic landscape of residue — a visual memory of growth and decay. The greens, violets, and earthy tones echo a vineyard seen not with the eyes, but felt through time and transformation.

This piece speaks of presence and disappearance, of what nature leaves behind when it vanishes.

Materials used:

Acrylics, sand, pastel
