“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.”
Pablo Picasso
Rendering real space in the two dimensions of painting.
Composition, light, shade, tonal grades, hues; we experiment with many different materials and techniques, discovering some interesting visual routes.
We begin with a selected composition of objects, making use of the measuring tools. We try to complete a subject in a week, aiming at placing the objects on paper in the correct proportions and with the tonal gradations created by light.
My hand tells me what I think… I can do anything!
