- Abstract
"Palimpsesto" is a compelling painting that exemplifies Art informel with its spontaneous, textured surface and dynamic composition. The artwork features layered abstract forms that evoke a sense of depth and temporal complexity, reminiscent of a palimpsest—a manuscript erased and overwritten multiple times. Its gestural brushstrokes and rich, tactile surface reflect a raw emotional energy, characteristic of Surrealism influences, yet rooted firmly in abstraction. "Palimpsesto" invites viewers to explore the layered histories embedded within, blurring the boundaries between the visible and the unseen.
