I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages. Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy! More on my creative journeys at: Website:
