Traces of down

Artist:
Collection:

In Traces of Dawn, De Tomàs seeks to portray the passage of time through opposing moments of transformation. On the left, the surface bears the marks of fire, as if the last spark were fading; on the right, ash settles and merges with reflections of the sky. The work captures that fragile boundary where what once burned becomes light again—an abstract echo of renewal.

About the Artwork
This painting belongs to the Aurora collection by De Tomàs, a body of work born from the need to give form to thoughts and emotions too complex to define. Each mark becomes a fragment of silence, an abstract trace of reflection where structure turns into poetry. Through calculated gestures and balanced tension, the composition unfolds as a meditative space between emptiness and presence.
Rather than describing, Aurora reveals — inviting the viewer to feel meaning emerge through light, rhythm, and absence.

Materials & Techniques
Created by De Tomàs, each piece from Aurora is crafted on wooden or metal panels using a blend of acrylics, oils, pastels, and natural pigments. Layers are built slowly, merging transparency and texture to evoke depth and stillness.
Fine lines, glazes, and subtle reliefs create a dialogue between precision and intuition. The result is a painting that feels both restrained and alive — a quiet architecture of emotion, reflecting the contemplative essence of Aurora.
