About the technique

​I use only the purest color pigments and hand-mixed organic oil paints. Additionally, I incorporate gold leaf and antique fabrics that I find at flea markets or antique shops. Each painting I create is a unique dance with a variety of materials, distinct to each work. The process of selecting and integrating these elements adds layers of history and meaning to my pieces, creating a tangible connection between past and present.

I often refer back to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. This includes using time-honored techniques to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of my work. One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which I prepare from scratch in the same way that the Renaissance masters did. This meticulous process involves mixing fresh egg yolk with pigments, creating a luminous and durable paint that brings a distinct quality to my art.

Oils and inks are always used in my work. The richness and versatility of these mediums enable me to build up subtle and rich layers, from which my poetic images appear. Each painting is a meticulous process of layering, where translucent glazes and bold strokes coexist, creating depth and complexity. The use of these mediums allows for a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the emotional impact of the piece.

Each work is a battle between exposing and suppressing different areas until the perfect balance of color and form is achieved. This delicate equilibrium is crucial to the final composition, as it reflects the nuanced interplay of emotions and experiences that define the human condition. The process is both intuitive and deliberate, involving constant adjustments and refinements until the artwork resonates with the intended emotional and aesthetic harmony.
