Technique & Materials
This artwork is made using mixed media on high-quality 100% cotton canvas (approx. 380 g/m²). It is based on a developed image printed and transferred onto the canvas, then hand-finished with acrylic and oil pastel, creating rich texture and depth. Direct intervention on the surface gives the piece a distinctive, visually striking character with subtle symbolic qualities.
Each piece is individually hand-finished, ensuring uniqueness and setting it apart from standard reproductions. The combination of techniques introduces visible structure, layered effects, and natural variations, making every artwork one of a kind.
The surface is protected with professionally applied layers of varnish, enhancing durability while intensifying color depth and the overall visual impact.
The artwork is sold unframed and shipped rolled in a tube.

About the artist
My practice combines digital tools with traditional, hands-on techniques. I work with software such as Adobe Suite and AI-based solutions as part of the creative process, using them as a starting point rather than a final result. Each piece is then physically reworked on canvas, allowing for direct intervention, texture, and variation.
I’m particularly interested in the dialogue between precision and imperfection — between what is generated and what is shaped manually. This approach leads to works that are visually layered, technically refined, but still open, tactile, and individual.

This piece is developed through a combination of techniques, including acrylic, oil pastel, and manual intervention on the surface, resulting in a distinctive work with strong visual presence and a multi-layered structure.
