Ok, Helder. You are making me feel guilty! This is a wonderful piece though. Did you use gesso for the white or a white paint; maybe zinc white? I love how you have a layered look with the images peeking through. Excellent!

ok let me unlock the secrets lol i use only in this piece white paint, some of the layers you see are part of the support that i use, advertising old posters, that i cut and make a selection of the elements that i found there and use on the work, in this case the numbers, the reliefs you see are part of the suport, that are the advertising paper layers glued together, given the effect that i want, a textured surface, with the help of natural elements like sun, rain...

Oh you! I think Helder knows what I mean. My life is not as organic as I would like it to be.
