MALVAS FLOR AND ROOBIOS | 2014
This work was created at a stipend funded art residency at Can Serrat, Spain. It was created using Malvas Flor and Roobios tea that I found at a grocery store in El Bruc. The tea created vibrant colours, however the tea did loose its vibrancy quite quickly but the patterns where still interesting. It was subsequently enhanced with shellac, oil paints and inks to become the work that it is today.
Medium | Malvas Flor and Roobios tea, acrylic, shellac, on paper
