D.S.M. (1996) four canvases, varnished iron frame cm 100×245
The works on canvas are limited in number and are divided between works of completely abstract slant, in which the canvas is left with either the priming only, is partially painted, or completely painted. A few jute canvases house vaguely figurative forms analogous to what happens in the inks on paper (Inks).
Canvases are very often arranged in triptychs or diptychs, in the latter case juxtaposing different finishings, and sometimes colours.
