Each painting has a cross-section or a pasted plan materializing the location from which it was painted with handwritten details from the artist.

With frameless hanging system if you want to do without a frame.

This intriguing work uses striking contrasts of black and white to create a mesmerizing perspective. The center of the image features an opening that evokes the shape of a keyhole, revealing a complex interior space. Inside, repeating patterns of lines and curves recall Baroque architecture, with intricately detailed balustrades. The chiaroscuro effect amplifies depth and dimension, drawing the eye toward the mysterious vanishing point. At the bottom left, a small annotated diagram appears to illustrate a repetition, emphasizing the theme of the drawing. The deliberately unfinished borders and ink splatters add a touch of contemporary boldness, giving the whole a classic yet avant-garde feel. This juxtaposition of tradition and modernity is the focal point of the work, captivating the viewer.
