Oil and pencil on canvas

90 × 90 cm

The Library continues my exploration of repetition and architectural structure through a restrained palette and a precise language of vertical and horizontal stripes. Interlocking bands suggest shelves, corridors, and stepped passages — a space shaped by order, rhythm, and quiet accumulation.

As in the Impossible Architectures series, the building feels plausible yet imagined. Repetition creates stability, while subtle shifts in plane introduce movement within the structure. Oil and hand-drawn black pencil textures soften the geometry, allowing the surface to breathe and preventing rigidity.

Balanced and dynamic, The Library becomes a metaphor for inner architecture — a constructed space of reflection, continuity, and calm strength.

The frame is handmade in the studio from carefully treated light wood as a decorative addition that complements the painting. It is easily removable if replacement is desired.

1860e.
