In my artistic process, I employ an original technique by combining two age-old traditions: the art of Chinese lacquer with impasto. This approach, rooted in tradition yet firmly directed towards the future, reflects my constant desire to explore new artistic paths.
Colour
preparation
Colour preparation: Prior to painting, I meticulously select and blend pigments. With my background as a pharmacist, I carefully study each mixture for its desired effect, experimenting with proportions, textures, and transparencies. My goal is to capture the essence of the emotion I wish to convey through my art, with each colour bearing symbolic significance beyond mere visuals.
The impasto technique
The impasto technique used with Layering of lacquers: On certain areas of the artwork, I add another layer of lacquer before the drying time ends. The impasto technique allows for the creation of a palpable texture that emerges through meticulous sanding, adding a tactile dimension to the artwork. Additionally, it provides depth and relief to the piece, generating three-dimensional effects that captivate.
Polishing
Polishing: The transparency of the varnish enables light to interact with the colours, creating a captivating visual spectacle that evolves with variations in brightness.
