My gouache paintings were created with a unique painting technique that I developed. I used fine brushes to apply multiple semi-transparent layers on two mid-tone opaque layers. This meticulous and labour-intensive technique results in a wide range of nuanced styles reminiscent of old photos.
My typical subjects are human emotions. Utilizing a very limited use of color and a great sense of composition, I portray these emotions in an inimitable way.
