From the “Hushless” series.

Bleed presents itself as a circular painting that suggests a closed universe,
an interior dimension without corners or escape routes, where pain circulates and
constantly reproduces itself.

The dominant color is a deep material blue, evoking the concept of melancholy
not as a fleeting feeling, but as a state of being. The saturation
of the pigment creates a sensation of weight and density: it is the blue of the dark night of
the soul, a silence that, paradoxically, becomes “deafening” precisely because of its
vastness. The texture isn’t flat, suggesting an interiority in perpetual turmoil.

Gold appears as matter emerging from the wound. The golden veins represent
the “fracture.”

The central part is the exact point of emotional impact, while in the lower flow
along the lower edge, the gold accumulates, sliding along the curvature of the circle,
recalling the work’s title, which becomes visible: it is the painful “blood”
of the unhealed conscience, which continues to flow slowly and
inexorably.

The threadlike, jagged textures on the sides represent the “deafening” aspect of
melancholy, that mental buzz that accompanies an open wound. The use of gold
suggests that this wound, however painful, defines a person’s value.

Bleed tells of a suffering that has found its rhythm, a wound that,
continuing to bleed gold into blue, transforms chronic pain into an object of
hypnotic contemplation.
