After a few years of experimenting with pencils on plain paper and walls, I was curious to explore different materials in my monochrome world. I tried to collect recycle and natural materials such as packagings, sand, old lace, leaves, resin and paper to build unconventional surfaces on panels. Afterwards, I would prime the surface with moulding paste and pumice gel to protect it.

Instead of drawing with pencils, I gradually experimented with using egg tempera, watercolour, acrylic and gouache. These unconventional surfaces created a huge contrast against the delicate monochrome pencil sketches, shifting the traditional perspective of flat drawing towards a more sculptural form.
