Fresh fragments: early clues of the next exhibition

A fragment straight from the studio: colour, texture and the first clues of December’s exhibition.


“I paint as I breathe.” — Pablo Picasso

Introduction
Friday calls for revelations. Not all of them, of course — any artist worth their salt knows suspense is also raw material. So here it is: the first bite of what’s to come in the next exhibition.

A detail that tells a story
In the photo you see the hand, the fresh paint, the knife carving the canvas. It’s not a pose, it’s process. And if it shows only a corner, it’s because the full work can’t leave the studio yet. Secrets paint too.

The first canvases
They’re growing in thick, almost sculptural layers. Greens that feel like jungle, oranges that wink like fire. Texture begging you to touch it (no, you can’t). It’s the physical side of painting — gesture, body, sweat — that you sometimes forget when all you see is a tidy canvas on a wall.

Why show it now?
Because the exhibition is already breathing, and you deserve a taste. It’s like lifting the lid before the stew is ready: you know it still needs time, but you can’t resist peeking.

Closing
👉 The artsy moral of the tale: this is just the first fragment. Until December, the blog will keep dropping fresh clues.

The road to December starts here…

The starting point for December’s exhibition: blank canvases, paint tubes and the promise of what doesn’t yet exist.

The journey always begins with blank canvases and unopened tubes.

Before every exhibition, there’s always this moment.
The canvases are still blank. The paint tubes still sealed. The brushes, way too clean.

It doesn’t look like much, but this is where everything begins: from a pile of materials waiting to turn into color, gesture, and line.

👉 In December, there will be a painting exhibition. Until then, coffee, short nights and a lot of creative chaos will fill the gap between these empty canvases and the gallery walls.

👉 Bottom line, with paint still wet
Every journey begins here — between the silence of unopened canvases and the promise of what doesn’t yet exist.
