Context of text. Sentence is:

I am only interested in the translation of "fatura" in this context. Please no references to "invoice" or synonyms as this is not the answer unless it is used in some strange way figuratively.

A fatura pictórica, que se organiza como textura gráfica, vai se justapondo em diáfanas camadas entremeadas por pequenas incisões obsessivas, desenhos inscritos-escritos, que acrescentam destruindo e destróem construindo, entremeados por colagens de papeis de seda de antemão trabalhados com a mesma tenacidade.
The pictorial workmanship that organizes itself as a graphic texture starts to juxtapose itself by translucent layers intermingled by obsessive small incisions inscriptions-written drawings that add destroying and doing so constructing, intermixed by tissue paper pasting worked beforehand with same tenacity.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Gilmar I would like to give you some points because the resourse you use is useful and I did not know it. The dictionary definition is good but the phrase 'use of colour' fits the context best. But thanks for your response. |
