Populated Landscapes in Casein Media
The Violinist
Once upon a time I was a scenic artist, creating backdrops for stage productions. We painted scenery with Casein, intense velvety pigments in sour-milk-based binder. Now I create fine-art paintings in this traditionally theatrical media, imbued with lush and slightly surreal softness.
Landscapes were a natural starting point for subject matter, but increasingly figures are creeping into my work. Not as character studies, but merely as beings to populate the terrain, feeling the atmosphere, absorbing the environments I’ve created.
