While working on this painting, I wasn’t thinking about the body, but only about what builds form. I was thinking about how the skin reacts to light, how the shadow cuts through the shape, leaving only what is essential. There was no sketch, no corrections. The darkest areas took time to develop.

While working on this painting, I wasn’t thinking about the body, but only about what builds form. I was thinking about how the skin reacts to light, how the shadow cuts through the shape, leaving only what is essential.

There was no sketch, no corrections. The darkest areas took time to develop. Each layer had to dry before another glaze, another color, could be applied. Each layer had to be a decision—whether to leave it or let the shadow consume more.

There was no way to speed up the process, but I stopped painting when the image set its own boundaries.

For the first time, I used an expensive glaze layer, which was a risk. Following the traditions of the old masters of oil painting, I applied the finest lapis lazuli pigment to achieve deeper tones.

I was scraping off layers of paint, one by one, until I uncovered something that transported me back in time.

At that moment, I was working in the Art Conservation Studio, revealing paintings on the walls of a medieval building. Following designated sections, I scraped off layers of paint, uncovering works from different periods of art history.

Strangely, the youngest layers turned out to be the most faded. Week by week, I uncovered deeper and older ones. Eventually, I reached the oldest layer, dating back to the medieval period. It turned out that its colors were so vivid and fresh that they seemed to defy the passage of time! They proved the durability of color achieved through historical painting techniques.

Today, as I prepare paints for my own paintings, I create each one myself in my studio, using traditional European recipes inspired by medieval art traditions. Such paints and pigments guarantee me the durability of colors thanks to these time-tested methods.

What’s more, the owner decided to uncover and preserve the medieval murals, which had stood the test of time. And just as an aside, today in that very place stands an exclusive hotel, visited by heads of state – a reminder of the timeless value of art and its place in the most prestigious settings.
