Stephen St. Claire is an oil painter from Asheville, NC who uses the reflection of light to produce stunning landscape and abstract oil paintings.
My oil painting technique is called Dialuminism (”light passing through”) and embeds metal leaf and oil paint within layers of solar resistant resin (for a thick, high gloss finish) or archival satin varnish (for a soft, satin finish). The light plays off some areas and casts shadows beneath others, creating a dimensional painting that changes in appearance depending upon where the viewer is standing in relation to the light source.
