This lecture explores the influence of quantum physics on an artistic practice in pictorial and sonic gestures. Rather than illustrating scientific concepts, it examines how notions such as indeterminacy, superposition, diffraction, and entanglement become aesthetic operators. These principles open the way to a conception of the pictorial and the sonic as relational fields, interwoven with interferences and continuous translations, where furtive painting emerges as a mode of appearance that resists capture and insists on the fragmentary – proposing an aesthetics of opacity and survival rather than representation.
