Original artwork description:

Working with thin glazes I build up layers using some rehearsed and some unrehearsed, almost accidental marks, which push and pull against each other.

The motif becomes a tool to reign in this disorder turning what may seem chaotic into something quite thought out and deliberate.

Materials used:

Oil Paint, Gold Leaf
