Artist: Crystal Michielsen - An Artist From Auroville
Art: I use a technique called pyrography on handmade paper, then I add details with ink, watercolor, pencils, and other materials. My colors range from bright to soft. Pyrography is like drawing with a heated pen—it helps me express what's inside me spiritually. Painting is like meditation for me. It helps me find balance and focus inside myself. From that peaceful place, both inspiration and the challenge of bringing it to life in my art come naturally.
Dimensions: 42 x 60 CM
Maintaining the Painting: Since handmade paper is a natural material, it requires regular care, especially during the monsoon season when humidity levels are high. In environments without proper air conditioning or dehumidification, it's important to promptly address any signs of fungal growth by gently cleaning the paper's surface with a soft cloth. While the paint remains unaffected, timely removal of fungus is crucial to preserving the integrity of the artwork.
