My work reimagines the ancient technique of buon fresco painting through a contemporary lens. While fresco was once a dominant medium in architectural spaces, its demanding process and technical complexity have made it nearly obsolete today. I am interested in reviving this medium in ways that honor its rich history and make it relevant to modern audiences.

By experimenting with materials like styrofoam and MgO panels, I create portable frescoes that float off the wall and often take on modular forms and installations. This approach challenges the traditional boundaries of the medium, making it more dynamic and adaptable to new contexts.

I also push against the conventional imagery of fresco, which has historically been used by elite institutions to assert power and authority. In response, I have pioneered the use of an airbrush to apply pigment to plaster, introducing a graffiti-inspired technique that veils my subjects in layers of spray-painted abstraction. The figures in my work are deliberately elusive, reflecting my ongoing exploration of the tension between surface appearances and deeper philosophical questions about perception, identity, and existence.
