NAIVE FACES ON WOOD
With solid and transparant inks on a fine poplar wood panel, the face emerges from the natural grain of the wood itself. Solid and transparent inks sink into the surface, creating depth that no canvas can replicate. The wood breathes. The grain becomes part of the skin. Over time, both the panel and the solid mahogany frame will deepen in tone — the work literally grows more beautiful with age.
