The process behind a painting.

Mgarr, 2019.


A photo of a place or a drawing  in-situ  are just starting points that prompt a
 mental configuration of a painting.  Having said this, a painting is never conceived mentally as a finished product. To be frank I start a painting  with no  clues about how it might eventually evolve. The process itself, which depends on a loose and spontaneous application of paint, is never straightforward. Each brushwork dictates the way to move forward. Preparatory drawings are kept schematic  and details are synthesised. At some point I abandon any visual references and  tend to rely more on my personal take on the subject in terms of composition, combinations of  colours and layering of paint.
