MIXED MEDIA- Oil paint and Cold Wax Medium (paste-like substance) that adds body and luminosity to the pigment. The complex surfaces are the result of building up many layers of this mixture with various tools and techniques, as well as selectively scraping and dissolving areas to reveal underlying layers.
Abstract, but with the intention to give a feeling /association to reality.
Inspired by photos e.g. inside the human body, space, water, structures in nature. I manipulate the photo digitally and gradually skip it and let the process lead me until I accept the result.
