A Quest Between Structure and Freedom
From one medium to another, Antonio Andivero explores the balance of forms. Geometric planes structure the space, while supple lines and rounded masses disrupt its rigor. Color, sometimes restrained, sometimes more intense, serves this tension between order and movement, granting his compositions a strong mural presence.
Engraving, a Space for Composition
Original engraving is particularly suited to this language. Pulled from a matrix crafted by the artist, the print offers deep blacks, sharp contours, and subtle overlays that highlight the construction of his images. His large abstract sheets fit seamlessly into a contemporary interior or a 20th-century print collection.
