It all begins with the gathering of pigments and sand—ancient and time-honoured materials that open the door for an artistry fueled by the love of nature. With a little practice, the eye can detect new subtleties that had previously gone unnoticed. Just spending time in nature and discovering these materials is already such a thrill.

Our paintings make use of materials that were already being used in ancient times, such as marble dust, pigments, oils, and wax. Owing to their purity, pigments play an especially central role, giving our paintings their characteristic zest and vitality.

Throughout the creation process, we use our artwork to express our ideas in harmony with form and structure. As artists, we are never bound by any one influence or idea, because we are precisely fascinated with the process of interacting with nature. The artist must go with the flow and adapt to an evolving situation, as in life itself.

Our artistic process is rooted in nature and its colour palettes, with their infinite and scintillating shades of beauty and diversity. The use of these colours by certain ancient cultures has sparked our passion for novel approaches, the most important of which has become spatula technique. We are always trying to come closer to the heart of the creative act, because we believe authenticity comes from intimacy and the very nature of being itself. This is the simple yet profound source of our distinctive artwork.
