City of Wonders
Some cities are not built only from stone and architecture, but from memory, rhythm, light, and fragments of human presence.
City of Wonders explores that invisible architecture.
Layers of white, black, oxidized textures, and architectural reliefs emerge through the surface like traces of a city suspended between past and present. The composition moves between order and erosion, structure and transformation, creating a tactile contemporary abstract work where geometry slowly dissolves into matter.
Fragments of ornament appear beneath the textures — echoes of façades, weathered walls, and architectural patterns inspired by Barcelona’s visual language. The surface becomes almost archaeological, revealing hidden details, subtle reliefs, and material contrasts that change with the light.
The restrained palette allows texture itself to speak. Deep blacks create silence and depth, while whites open spaces of light and breath. Oxidized tones interrupt the balance with a raw physical presence, giving the work an emotional and tactile intensity.
Inspired by contemporary abstraction, architectural minimalism, and the beauty of aged surfaces, City of Wonders reflects on the way cities carry time within their walls.
From afar, the painting feels calm and structured. Up close, it reveals a complex world of textures, erosion, and hidden rhythms.
