The work clearly falls within the realm of material abstraction, where gesture and layering take on a narrative role stronger than representation. The surface appears as a field of tension: broad areas of dirty white and cool grays interact with a central ochre mass, earthy and almost wall-like, evoking erosion, time, and sedimentation. The composition is asymmetrical but well balanced. The large golden area on the left establishes a stable and 'heavy' presence, while the dark band on the right, interrupted by vertical red drips, introduces instability and drama. The red, used sparingly but decisively, functions as an element of emotional rupture: it suggests a wound, a trace of life, or violent memory, without ever becoming illustrative.
