Each of my artworks is born from a precious artistic clay, carefully selected among the finest available. Every fish takes shape entirely by hand, without molds or repetitions: cut, engraved, and decorated scale by scale until it becomes a unique specimen. The surface, patiently smoothed, is then ready to embrace color.
The painting unfolds in delicate layers, built with acrylics sourced from different parts of the world, chosen for their quality and chromatic intensity. Every detail is entrusted to the brush, with meticulous gestures that breathe life into the material. At times, a subtle veil of glitter enriches the work, giving it light and movement. Finally, a transparent, non-yellowing varnish seals and protects the creation, ensuring its durability over time.
While the colors rest, I prepare the canvas background, which will become the natural habitat of these marine forms.
It is at this stage that each fish is adorned with further precious elements: zircons, gemstones, and small details gathered from markets around the world, carefully selected to enhance their singularity. The assembly is completed with special silicones, guaranteeing strength and endurance for years to come.
Thus, every artwork becomes unrepeatable, a bearer of a story that cannot be replicated, destined to remain unique over time.
