Sumario:The text presents a personal perspective on the importance of Silence for understanding the work process and the work of Francisco Laranjo. Silence presents itself as an empirical condition, but also as a concept associated with the transcendent and the sacred, being key to the reflection and contemplation of the work of the artist, who recently passed away. In this context, silence is assumed as a figure of the unknown where various states of association, interpretation, and performance operate, in their artistic practice. In this way, it is proposed that his works be understood as territory in itself, that do not refer to something concrete, but that operate as a mirror to think about the world. Thus, it is proposed that the works be understood as a place, as a landscape, suggesting the designation of landscape-painting to characterize the works of painting by Francisco Laranjo.
