About the Artwork
Stone Heart emerges from a liminal space between waking and dreaming—an abstract vision conjured during sleep paralysis. With sweeping strokes and splattered textures, Amadeo Vibat paints what might be the unseen force that haunts these episodes: a cloaked, grinning entity hidden in shadow.
The artist’s instinctive, rapid process embraces the fluid unpredictability of watercolor. Vibat works in layers, rotating the paper, flooding it with movement, and allowing forms to rise organically. The result is an image that hovers between abstraction and apparition—charged with emotion and psychological depth. Stone Heart is a testament to the subconscious as co-creator, where intention gives way to raw expression.
About the Artist
Amadeo Vibat is a multidisciplinary artist whose primary medium is watercolor—a choice driven by its immediacy, unpredictability, and emotional resonance. His abstract process is rooted in spontaneity: no sketches, no references, only the present moment and the marks it demands.
Inspired by dreams, memory, and the shadowy spaces of the psyche, Vibat often enters a trance-like state while painting, letting go of conscious control to access something deeper. He likens this surrender to the dream state—one where imagery arises without logic, yet feels intensely true.
Vibat’s practice blurs the boundary between abstraction and the subconscious figure, where a face or form might flicker into existence before dissolving again. Through each piece, he invites the viewer into this dance of emergence and erasure—where meaning is found not in clarity, but in feeling.
