Artistic Exploration: Epoxy-Coated Acrylic Paintings

“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.” — René Magritte

An ordinary visit to a gallery became the catalyst for an extraordinary shift in my practice. I encountered a series of epoxy-coated acrylic paintings that shimmered with an inner light—as if each canvas were alive, breathing through color and gloss. The luminosity, depth, and immediacy of the work left a lasting impression. It was not just the image that spoke—but the surface itself.

The addition of epoxy over acrylic transforms the painting into something more dimensional, more immersive. Light dances across the resin-coated surface, pulling viewers into layered compositions where every swirl and saturation of color gains clarity and weight. What begins as paint becomes presence—an object of reflection, of radiance.

Working with this medium has been both a challenge and a revelation. Resin has its own will—it moves, shifts, reacts. Every pour is a negotiation between intention and surprise. Yet it is in that uncertainty that the most alive work emerges. The result is always more than the sum of its materials. Yes, the process is demanding—the weight of the resin, the careful timing, the technical precision. But the payoff is a surface that feels alive, a composition that continues to evolve as light and angle change. These works feel like collaborations: between artist and material, between vision and chance.

Each piece is not only a finished image but a document of transformation—a visual echo of the process itself. And with each new experiment, I am reminded of Magritte’s words. There is mystery in the making—and that mystery is what keeps me coming back.
