The model took this pose naturally, almost instinctively, as if she were resting, though her feet and toes still held tension. That tension became the backbone of the oil painting. It wasn’t about narration but rather the weight of the body, balance, and how the legs intertwined into a closed composition.

The body arranged itself this way—without calculation, without seeking effect. I captured this moment because there was an order in it that didn’t need correction. I focused on the arrangement of forms—how the weight was distributed, how the tension in the feet balanced the composition.

The painting was created using charcoal and linseed oil. Krems white and a traditional gesso ground made of chalk are responsible for the highlights.

And then I decided it was enough. Because at some point, every additional layer of paint starts taking away rather than adding.

I grind paints for my artworks using historical recipes from masters like Rembrandt, da Vinci, and Vermeer. I source pigments from rare locations—ranging from geological expeditions to specialty shops. I thicken linseed oil under the sun according to a 14th-century recipe, which adds depth and durability to my paintings. Despite available technologies, I choose traditional methods to create pieces inspired by the heritage of past masters.
