About this artwork
Painting: Oil, Gold leaf, Glazes on Canvas.
The painting technique I've used here resembles the Flemish method of layering thin veneers of paint between layers of varnish. I start with pencils, pastels, and varnish. After that, I paint a lighter layer with oil and finish with a couple of thicker layers using oils, gold leaf and glazes.

« As a child, I was taught to question one-dimensional narratives which grew from a survival technique to a technology of the artistic self. The Ecology of Talent is what matters. »
Iva Troj has won several awards for her paintings and has exhibited in the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States. Troj's creative expression is influenced by her grandmother who told her that beauty is 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. This dichotomy is present in everything that she does. While there is violence, greed, and mediocrity, there is also beauty. Her painting techniques are akin to the Flemish, layering thin veneers of paint between layers of varnish.
