"My painting Alchemical Body (Solve et Coagula) + custom made frame
The break in the frame performs the alchemical principle of solve et coagula.. structure dissolving and reforming.
The painting itself contains layers of symbolism drawn from alchemy and classical imagery.
A highly finished oil painting, built through slow Renaissance techniques and extended into space through the frame."
