Mixed Media on Wood: Where Precision Meets Play

“The more precise the instrument, the more determined the artist must be.” – Agnes Martin

“A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world.” – Hans Hofmann

My mixed media on wood practice was born from a deep fascination with the intersection of art, technology, and tactile form. I’ve always been drawn to the elegance of precision—to the quiet rhythm of repetition and the architectural beauty of geometry. This curiosity naturally led me to CNC machines, which became my tool of choice. With their help, I could carve intricate, mathematically-driven patterns into wood panels—patterns so detailed they would be nearly impossible to achieve by hand.

There’s something meditative about this process. The machine hums, the grain resists and yields, and a structured landscape begins to emerge. These engraved surfaces introduce a new rhythm to my work—one rooted in control, yet open to transformation.

Once the panels are carved, the act of painting becomes intuitive and expressive. Acrylic paints flood the grooves and surfaces, bringing vivid energy into the rigid framework. I work layer by layer, building contrast, motion, and mood. The natural warmth of the wood grain plays against bold color fields, giving each piece a tactile, living presence.

To complete the process, I seal each work in a layer of epoxy resin. This final touch heightens the saturation, adds a glass-like sheen, and creates a sense of depth that feels almost liquid. It’s a moment of alchemy—where material, light, and color converge.

These works are where digital precision meets human touch. Where structure gives way to spontaneity. Where craft and code coexist. They invite viewers to engage with surface and depth, with both the mechanical and the organic—and to see abstraction as both methodical and alive.
