These monumental works, created since 1987, consist of spongy planes and multiple layers of transparent, partially painted foil.

The sparing use of means and the airiness of the materials stand in opposition to the complex and multilayered structure—its volume engages the viewer in a game where the varyingly transparent foil prevents ingress.

Given the inability to access the core of the seemingly simple yet intricate object, that sense of depth is paradoxical, and therefore the principle adopted for shaping these forms does not allow to judge their purism or expression.

There are, however, noticeable references to the legacies of both non-representational and minimal art (Untitled. Foil Object, 1989), and at times even to ancient iconography (Three Graces, 1989).
