What is special about your technique? Why this medium?
I work with oil paints because of their great meaning and heritage for humanity. While oils were created centuries ago, we still breathe and admire the wonderful tones and glazes achieved in oil paintings. Oils are generous materials which allow me to build an image in the same way I make conversation with time itself. Also, oils offer me the opportunity to give depth, fix, try, erase, and be reborn. Their history and flexibility accompany my own creative process.If someone were searching for your work on Google, what keywords do you think they would type?
