Fragments of Nothing presents itself as a constellation of fragments drawn from different universes. Each work carries a complete meaning on its own and, at the same time, belongs to a larger whole, contributing its individual voice to the corpus of the series. Every element speaks independently while participating in the polyphony they construct together.

Created between 2025 and 2026, this sequence of works gathers the traces of an existential journey: from the artist’s native Peru to Rome, the city where his visual research takes shape and expands. The canvases emerge as expressions of a biography in which conflict, displacement, and the search for a space for inner experience coexist.

Demarini builds an intimate and singular narrative, centered on the dialogue between support and content and on the act of painting freed from convention. After an initial visceral impulse, painting becomes a place of reflection and experimentation where chaos and harmony coexist. The mark evolves into compositions in which matter overlaps, blends, and retains the memory of its own formation: layers that recount the story of their creation.

The process is everything. The practice transcends the production of a static image and becomes a performative action in which conscious and unconscious interact. The act of painting becomes a celebration of gesture and movement, an accompaniment of emotion, and an exploration of its force.

In painting, Demarini finds refuge, and through his practice he offers and shares that same space of observation and breath—a place of resistance. Within the works, the viewer may evoke figures, sense tensions, or lose themselves in the contemplation of colors and forms. Painting becomes a space for looking and breathing, a site of resistance.
