In The Rhythm Of Letting Go

Paula Borsetti begins this densely textured painting without a set destination. The resulting all-over composition draws on the legacy of Abstract Expressionism to prioritize gestural momentum and surface materiality. Vivid blocks of coral, tangerine, and cobalt are rigorously layered, scraped, and sanded, creating an archaeological depth where past marks remain clearly visible. Amidst this heavy strata, fragmented geometries and loose, looping lines emerge. For Borsetti, these complex visual topographies function as traces of memory, mapping how our lived landscapes are continuously internalized and rebuilt.
