Description

This handcrafted mineral pigment painting was uniquely created on high-quality Bristol paper. The process – a blend of patience and meticulous technique – starts with the careful application of intricate patterns to define the negative space, a crucial step to ensure each color dances in harmony with those around it.

The pigments, which are personally crushed and mixed from various natural minerals, elements, and stones, are then gently dabbed onto the paper and rubbed deep into the fibers using the tips of my fingers. This method allows the colors to intimately bond with the paper’s grain, creating a stained effect that is both delicate and profound. This labor of love can take hours, sometimes days, as I blend different palettes and color combinations to achieve the desired artistic expression.

The final touch is a spray of adhesive fixative, which not only makes the colors permanent but also enriches their depth and vibrancy. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, reflecting the unique beauty of nature and the dedication of my craft.
