This oil painting was created in line with the glazing technique of the old masters. They applied dozens of layers of transparent paint—this was no different. I built up successive layers of glazes, separating them with intermediate varnish, applying hand-ground pigments mixed with linseed oil.
At some point, I realized that everything essential had already happened. Adding more layers would have only weakened the effect.

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.
