Soft Painting - sheaves of colored fibers laid on a felt sheet replaces the brush and palette of the painter. Once the 'painting' is finished the combination of forms and colors is stapled to the sheet of felt with a special instrument. The results - big pictures, abstract in nature or of imaginary creatures in magic atmosphere – are rich in colors and forms.
