The Secret lithograph invites the viewer into an abstract mystery, a textured surface marked by superimposed layers, it hides buried stories, fragments of memory erased by time. The earthy hues, mixed with touches of pink and black, create an atmosphere that is both organic and enigmatic, evoking the marks left by the passage of time or the imprints of an invisible narrative.

The indistinct shapes and irregular traces give the impression of a coded language, a secret message or an ancient memory engraved in the very material of the canvas. The geometric lines and shapes, partially erased, seem to want to tell something, but remain ambiguous, like a distant murmur that lacks words. The dark splashes add an effect of depth and mystery, recalling stains or shadows that seem to belong to another era.

Secret invites the viewer to approach, decipher and interpret the clues left on the surface, like an archaeologist exploring ruins or a reader trying to decipher ancient symbols. This work is a visual meditation on the secrets we carry within us, on what is hidden beneath the surface and only partially revealed, always leaving a part of mystery unexplored.
