Mixed media: wood, pigments and natural waxes. It can be defined as encaustic photography on wood.
The starting point is photographic, with the application of vignetting, the reference to the vocabulary of pinhole photography, the use of a reduced color scale. But the digital interventions, the wooden base, the coloristic intervention through the choice and use of natural waxes and resins, the structuring of the surfaces with red-hot irons make them lose the indexical value characteristic of photography and open up to something else. We are on the thin line between indexical and icon. The use of wood, image transfer, waxes and resins actually take us into the terrain of mixed media.
