EM

1981

"EM" is a fresco work created on an unconventional support of honeycomb aluminum panel, demonstrating the artist's experimental approach to traditional fresco technique. The use of lightweight aluminum substrate suggests an interest in contemporary materials while maintaining the classical medium of pigment applied to prepared surface, creating an intriguing dialogue between old and new artistic methods. The work's title and abstract nature invite consideration of how traditional techniques can be reinterpreted through modern materials and contexts.
