I’m deeply connected to the craft of painting; the techniques, the materials, and the process of making my own paints. Each layer I apply is a study, and an exploration at the same time. Even after all these years, I still follow painting courses to refine my skills, because painting for me is a lifelong study. I use raw materials and fillers to have complete control over the texture, giving my paintings a quality that sometimes resembles ancient cave paintings.
