I usually work on rigid panel, building the main composition as a texture applied in several
successive layers of casein gesso. Texture, with its ability to provide shadows, is an important ingredient
in most of my works.
Next stage, I apply several layers of casein paint based on casein-medium mixed
with pure pigments, searching for right composition of colors.

and painting steps.
Technique alone seems meaningsless, but without it painter would be restricted by lack of means to express himself. Casein, when used properly, provides one of most versatile and permanent painting mediums allowing to be applied in wide spectrum of different ways.
