Mirror I

Description

This is the allure of alla prima painting, a technique that thrives on spontaneity and immediacy.

In this captivating process, the artist paints directly onto the canvas while the paint is still wet, blending colours and textures with each stroke. There’s no waiting for layers to dry—each decision is bold and intuitive, resulting in a piece that radiates energy and life.

The final work celebrates immediacy, with visible brushstrokes and rich, layered pigments that convey emotion and movement. Whether capturing the fleeting light of a landscape or the nuanced expression of a portrait, an alla prima painting invites the viewer to witness the creative journey in real-time, offering a window into the artist’s raw and unfiltered vision.

An artist painting alla prima embodies the essence of creativity in its purest form: unplanned, expressive, and alive with possibility.
