“Fragment XII”, Mixed Media Collage on Board

Mixed media collage on board, signed, titled and dated 88 verso, minimalist, built around a pale, chalky field of off-white layers that look plastered and wrinkled, with seams and creases showing like folded paper or dried paste. Subtle gray shadows and rubbed areas create a soft, architectural sense of depth, as if overlapping panels are floating just above the surface.

Two darker collage elements anchor the composition: a tall, near-black angled form along the right edge, and a smaller deep burgundy rectangle near the lower left, smudged with smoky gray and a faint blush of pink around its edges. Tactile and weathered, the overall composition balances calm empty space with a few decisive, graphic interruptions.
