Oil on canvas

My most recent work is created using a layered subtractive technique involving multiple applications of tape and paint. I start by cutting masking tape into 3–4 mm wide strips and applying them vertically to the canvas. After the initial paint layer is applied, I cut into selected strips, add additional tape in new configurations, and apply further layers of paint. This process is repeated over four to five iterations, allowing the composition to build complexity through both addition and removal. Once the final layer is dry, I remove the tape to expose the underlying structure, revealing a precise interplay of masked and painted surfaces.
