Stratified Faces explores identity through fragmented faces, repeated gazes, and layered geometric planes. Each portrait appears as a composite presence shaped by memory, contradiction, and multiple inner selves, transforming the human face into a psychological and symbolic territory.
Inner Vortex is one of Maurizio Valch’s earlier bodies of work, developed from 2017 onward. The series reveals the inner force before it becomes territory. Through spiral movement, layered color and circular tension, these works explore an energy that is still forming: a force before horizon, before structure, before ground. The vortex appears as a visual field of emergence. It suggests rotation, depth, repetition and psychological movement, but also the first signs of a later territorial language. What appears here as inner force will later become strata, fault lines, horizons and ground frequency. Inner Vortex marks an essential stage in Valch’s evolution: the moment where painting becomes a field of energy, perception and genesis.
