While creating a modern fresco requires a rare medium, the luminosity, depth, and timelessness of the all -natural marble and limestone plaster is exquisite. Traditionally, the artist Michaelangelo used the “buon” (pigment on wet plaster) fresco technique. Steve has combined what he terms “enfresco” (pigment in wet plaster) and traditional “buon” fresco to create the striking, energetic and emotion filled works of “our day.”

“I believe fresco is the most universal, simplest, the most direct, the most natural expression of the artist. Yet of all forms of painting, it demands the most of the artist. Throughout the day the capacity of the plaster to assimilate color varies-it is a living, changing thing. Part of the wonder of this enduring form of art is that at its completion the beauty of the work has just begun to radiate. Over the years, while the fresco feeds the hearts and souls of those fortunate enough to abide under its splendor, the chemical process of carbonization continues within,...continually increasing the visual unity and luminosity of the work.”
