These
pictorial works have been realised using typical oriental techniques
and materials, in particular Korean materials.
According to a millennial oriental painting tradition, several “psychrofite”
sheets have been soaked in natural glue and then overlapped in order
to obtain a single sheet of paper.
Afterwards, the resulting sheet of paper is fixed to a wooden frame
and allowed to dry and stretch for about 30 hours.
The
‘canvas’ thus obtained is then finally treated with animal
glue in order to guarantee an ideal fixing of colours and a perfect
preservation over time.
As for colours, they are natural powders derived from mineral, vegetable
and animal materials. After mixing with water and animal glue, these
natural colours are applied on ‘canvas’ in several layers
so as to obtain the desired chromatic intensity.
