| The fresco is a mural painting
technique which consists of painting on a fresh mortar when
it is still damp. Besides, the word “fresco” in
Italian language means “fresh”. The raw material
required to paint “a fresco” is limestone. The
baking and subsequent extinction of limestone transforms it
into a fine powder that we call “the lime”. Mixed
with sand and water and applied in many layers, the lime will
become stone again. |
|
| So, the painter can only
practice his art just as the stone becomes a stone again. Add
only pigment and
water. The chemistry is easy, simple and spectacular. Like
a magic show. A precise moment where the colours, combined
with the mineral transformation, become enmeshed for eternity. |
