I stand in rebellion

against the culture of

disposability.

The techniques I use are rooted in centuries of craftsmanship,

relying on natural, stable, and noble materials.

Egg tempera on traditional gesso, encaustic, pastel on abrasive

grounds (carborundum) — these are my preferred mediums.

They are rare today, yet their potential remains inexhaustible:

they invite experimentation, demand struggle, and foster growth.

My approach differs from the conceptual mindset

that dominates the art world.

I am not trying to illustrate an idea, but to

shape in matter what words cannot say.
