Artwork location: France
The artwork at hand is a profound and enigmatic piece that masterfully melds abstract and figurative elements. The painting is bathed in a deep, almost ethereal blue hue, creating a mysterious and immersive atmosphere. This background is meticulously textured with varying shades of blue and hints of midnight black, providing depth and a sense of infinite expanse. At the core of the canvas, slightly to the left, a semi-obscured visage of a woman emerges. Her face, skillfully rendered with delicate strokes of light pink and crimson, appears to be shrouded in a mist-like aura. The interplay of these warmer tones against the cool blues is striking, creating a visual tension that captivates the viewer's gaze. The face exudes a sense of introspection and somber reflection, inviting onlookers to uncover the narrative behind her enigmatic expression. A notable feature of this piece is the rectangular boundary encasing the woman's face, which seems to be a window into another dimension or a framed vestige of memory. This frame is subtly emphasized with sharper strokes and darker shades, adding a geometric counterpoint to the otherwise fluid and amorphous surroundings. The canvas’s lower part transitions into deeper, more intense colors, with abstract smears and splashes of reds and purples. These vibrant strokes add an element of chaos and motion, suggesting an undercurrent of emotion or perhaps a lingering sense of turmoil beneath the serene façade. Overall, this artwork commands attention through its compelling use of color, texture, and form. It straddles the line between the real and the surreal, offering a visually arresting experience that encourages contemplation and interpretation.

Presentation
By using a mixed technique that combines acrylic, oil, gauche, tempera, to the praxis of collage, it gives life to the artworks with a dreamlike and vibrant scenario that imprison on the canvas tracks of the real and of metaphorical evocations. Rhythm, pattern and balance is important in the paintings. Images and text fragments sticks out, but don't give the viewer all information, just like dreams and memories its fragmented and fuzzy, just gives a glimpse of what have happened.
Using collage is influenced and refer to a typically Dadaist aesthetics, but at the same time they're purged of the Dada polemic force and iconoclastic fury. In fact, the paintings colour, cut-outs, symbols of a mysterious past, like of the present, slowly emerge on the surface in a continuum of summons and recovery, composing and compressing themselves into new formal structures capable of returning the memory of reasons and feelings, and emotionally closer to the Rauschenberg's memory to aim for a particular text and image to have an underlying meaning.
Documenting the lives and our footprint through time and what the future has to show, history repeats itself. This has happened, mixed with a dreamy, ethereal world.
