We fit into the deep furrow that the Italian tradition<\/strong> of masters of paints has traced. <\/p>

We straddle the past and the future, offering today's artists and restorers paints prepared with the same care<\/strong> as the artisans of the past and with the expertise<\/strong> that modern science offers us. The ancient pigment is our inspiration<\/strong>, in its strong reference to the bond with the Earth<\/strong> and with the three kingdoms of Nature<\/strong>, which has always been the source from which men have drawn the materials to paint. <\/p>

We believe that the recovery of awareness of the origin of the materials used can bring the artist<\/strong> back to his role as a medium between Earth and Sky<\/strong>, between Nature and Spirito<\/strong>, between World and Humanity<\/strong>. It is for these reasons that we select the best pigments<\/strong> from the three kingdoms of Nature, with a predilection for the mineral<\/strong>, the oldest kingdom, and also the one that guarantees incomparable lightfastness. We select and purifythe best earths<\/strong> that human civilizations have used for millennia and we seek outthe most advanced and high-performance mineral and organic pigments<\/strong> of recent decades. For lovers of tradition, we ourselves prepare the historical lakes<\/strong> of vegetal and animal origin to be put in our colours, whose no longer common characteristics bring us back to past centuries<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Almost all of our watercolor paints are formulated with single pigment<\/strong>.<\/p>

Each watercolor can therefore fully express the characteristics of the pigment that constitutes it: this is why we perceive life and character<\/strong> in our colours. We have developed a mixture of vegetable gums<\/strong>, of which the main one is gum arabic, in line with the recipes of the masters<\/strong>: this is our binder, in whose simplicity lies the certainty of absence of interactions between the components. A humectant and plasticizer such as glycerin<\/strong> guarantees ease of collection and elasticity of the applied paint. Our watercolors are the intimate union<\/strong> of these components, achieved through grinding, and the pleasure in applying and using them<\/strong> is the concrete result of our work.<\/p>

We make our expertise<\/strong> and knowledge in the world of historical color available for the commissioned preparation<\/strong> of traditional paints for professional and artistic use.<\/p>
