About the work

Ausencias is Spanish for "absences". Dark figures, soft-edged as if seen through smoke, stand and walk across a pale grey field. Some are upright and solid, others break apart along the top edge. Scratched lines, loose grids and small flecks of yellow and red cut through the surface, and a faint spiral turns in the lower right.

In Luces y Sombras the light opens space around the crowd. Here the pale ground takes up more room than the figures.

About the series

“Amid games of light and shadow, such as those in Luces y sombras, which open up fissures through which one can breathe deeply, colour itself also becomes a matter to move through.”

Domenico de Chirico, curator, catalogue essay, 2026
