"As I get around to speaking about philosophical problems that defy time and space, I usually avoid any clues pointing to a specific civilization. Painting is an art inherently capable of speaking about history or philosophy and the eternal problems of life and death".

Alexander Gassel chose ancient egg yolk tempera technique.
He makes his own color pigments by grinding natural stones and minerals, such as malachite, cinnabar and lapis into powder, and then he mixes pigment with egg yolk.
Gassel mastered traditional methods of icon painting.
Color areas are often enhanced by the gold leaves. |
