2767 – Contemporary Abstract Painting by Maria Paola Coda

The painting 2767 by Maria Paola Coda unfolds as an abstract territory where fog and earth seem to meet on the same chromatic plane. In the upper section, white and grey tones create an ethereal atmosphere, reminiscent of mist suspended in the air, evoking a sense of stillness and lightness. This veil of fog gradually merges with the lower area, where deep browns, dense blacks, and subtle touches of red and orange convey the strength of the earth and the weight of matter.

While it does not depict a specific landscape, the work suggests the experience of contemplating distant horizons in which sky and land engage in a mysterious dialogue. The transition between the lighter and darker areas is not linear but developed through subtle glazes and layered textures, generating depth and a sense of vibration. This pictorial process, characteristic of Coda’s artistic language, allows the surface to breathe and expand, acquiring an almost atmospheric quality.

In 2767, the contrast between the ethereal and the material does not present itself as a rigid opposition but rather as a flow of energies in balance. The reddish and orange accents bring a vital pulse within the density of the darker tones, while the whites and greys invite meditative contemplation. The result is an abstract painting that, far from static, conveys dynamism, mystery, and a poetic charge that resonates with the viewer’s emotions.

This work is part of Maria Paola Coda’s ongoing exploration of color, light, and perception, consolidating her voice within the field of contemporary abstract art. 2767 stands as an open space, a threshold where atmosphere and matter coexist in harmonic tension.
