About the work

Vinca Abstraction I

Medium: Oil on wood panel — 40 x 30 cm

Vinca Abstraction I culminates a visual investigation into the structure, rhythm, and chromatic palette of the Vinca flower (Vinca major). After analyzing its pentagonal geometry and the natural contrast between the violet tones of its petals and the lemon-yellow edges of its variegated foliage, Linda Barnini strips the image of every figurative trace. The botanical form disappears, condensed into a horizontal band of pure light: a vibrating horizon where the plant’s energy and chromatic synthesis converge.

Executed in oil on wood panel in an intimate 30 x 40 cm format, the work stands out for the tactile richness of its surface. The deep violet background, furrowed by fine vertical incisions that add rhythm and material density, holds a luminous yellow-green beam with an ethereal transition. The result is a piece with a minimalist, contemplative aesthetic that brings serenity and sophistication to private collections or contemporary spaces.
