Painting on untreated silk is a rare and demanding practice.

Silk is an unforgiving fabric. The moment silk colors touch the fibers, they penetrate instantly and cannot be removed or corrected. Every stroke remains exactly where it was placed, making the process slow, deliberate, and irreversible.

Over more than twenty-five years, I developed my own author's technique for working with this material. The technical details remain undisclosed, but the method allows a level of precision and detail rarely associated with silk as a painting surface.

I intentionally do not seal my paintings with varnish. Leaving the surface untouched allows the silk to remain a living material — breathable, soft, and naturally stable. This preserves the tactile quality of the fabric and allows light to move through the layers of color rather than being blocked by a sealed surface.

The paintings retain the natural softness of silk. The surface remains tactile, inviting a sensory connection beyond sight. Sometimes the sense of touch perceives presence even more deeply than the eye.

Natural silk and silk colors are hypoallergenic and safe. The artworks remain stable, do not crack over time, and require no special care. When properly preserved, they can remain unchanged for generations.

Each work is created once and never repeated. I do not produce prints or reproductions.

What continues to fascinate me about this medium is its paradox — softness combined with strict precision, fragility paired with control. It is this tension that defines the presence of the work.
