Carving: painting, carving or? Come and talk with the artist and watch him create a new pictorial object. Be enchanted by his exhibited paintings and his photo project "Flow".

The process, called "carving" by the artist, involves months of work applying up to 50 layers of acrylic paint to a wooden support, with each successive layer of paint rendering invisible the one before it.
It is an addition of color while hiding another. Only by removing the individual layers with the carving iron, a hand tool used in wood carving, do the layers of paint become visible again.
A pattern already established during the application of the paint is also followed during the carving, so that the artist leaves nothing to chance, despite the up to 20,000 carvings per object.
A continuous process of adding and taking away until the finished object.
