Acrylic paint on canvas and a few different brushes sizes. I usually draw the lines with a pencil first. The choice of colors is a very thoughtful process in my compositions, they are previously planned and tested. Dry brush to apply the paint, two or three layers to make the colors strong and bold. The curves and edges are meticulously painted to achieve a perfect line where the colors meet each other. I use the angle brush for my black lines, changing the pressure to get this variation of thickness. To finish, I use a special splattering technique that I developed, using my fingers and the brush at the right distance from the canvas, with the right amount of water and paint to apply the dots uniformly, creating a subtle terrazzo look.
