In the Middle Ages, the technique of fresco involved applying pigments directly onto wet lime plaster, allowing the colors to become embedded in the drying plaster.
The use of casein paints on a dry fresco surface is a more modern variation, where the casein acts as a binder for the pigments and is applied after the plaster has dried, allowing for greater control over the color application.

Fresco is a very organic way of painting. I find it an appropriate material for this specific topic as you cannot influence the process of the lime drying, or what it will look like eventually. You have to go with the flow. Once the first layer has dried, you need to play with the cards you’ve been dealt with… and dance creatively around the boundaries the medium imposes.

There is value in the lines, the cracks, the imperfections, the bumps in the road, the experiences we have lived, it has shaped us to the human beings we are today. It’s simply beautiful 😍.
