Project
EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPES No.1 TO No.09
Agata Sierra x Cadre d’Or, PARIS
Emotional Landscapes unfolds as a dialogue between collage and paint, where layered surfaces construct abstract, internal geographies—free, fragmented, and at times almost topographic.
Color operates as a living vibration, generating tensions, rhythms, and harmonies that mirror processes of inner reconstruction.
Through gestures of scribbling, pouring, and tearing—counterbalanced by acts of pasting, embroidering, and repairing—each composition negotiates a new equilibrium.
Recurring symbols create an immersive visual field, inviting the viewer into sustained, attentive engagement. Here, looking becomes a form of participation, echoing the layered processes from which the work emerges.

Everything is about detail :)
Emotional Landscapes No.4–No.6, Collage on paper, 20 × 20 cm, 2021–2024
These details reveal the use of custom-blended acrylic colors, layered with rollers to achieve luminous tonal effects, complemented by colored pencil strokes that enrich the surface. The folds and creases of the paper create depth, catching the light and enhancing the chromatic vibration.
Emotional Landscapes No.7–No.9, Collage on paper, 20 × 20 cm, 2021–2024
These details highlight the use of staples, embroidery threads, and torn paper textures. Each element adds layers of tactility and rhythm, expanding the material language of the work.
Each piece was custom-framed in collaboration with Cadre d’Or, Paris, using the Diplex technique—an artisanal process designed to preserve and enhance the integrity of the work.
