The Fresco School
 Established in 1997 in Los Angeles by fresco artist iLia Anossov (fresco) previously known as “Nationwide Fresco Painting Workshop Program” since 1992. Hundreds of students have attended our workshops enrolling from US, Canada, Europe. Fresco School is the only Art School that offers ongoing fresco curriculum throughout the calendar year. Our buon fresco programs have traveled to many US cities. |
The Medium of Fresco
In it’s essence, fresco or fresco painting is – an application of natural mineral pigments to a surface on which a following chemical reaction takes place:
Ca(OH)2(s) + CO2(g) —-> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
Calcium Hydrate (burned lime stone or marble mixed with water) combined with carbon dioxide resulting in the formation of Calcium Carbonate – lime stone, marble. The pigment gets trapped within the newly formed calcite crystal. It is like “Painting with molten Marble”. Continue reading
Space Fresco – The Final Frontier
Space Fresco – Carbon Based Life + Carbon Based Art
It’s a Rock. But it’s Art. And it’s in Space.
August 15, 2012 (Los Angeles, CA): Fresco School and iLia Anossov, announces the next stage of the ambitious project “to have a true Fresco being painted in every town”, by literally reaching for the stars – by launching the first ever artwork, a true fresco, into outer space.
Fresco is a carbon-based medium with natural pigment bound within calcium carbonate, which is a rock, able to withstand the rigors of space and time. Carbon is the backbone of all known naturally occurring life on the planet Earth. Thus, as Anossov says …”Fresco as a carbon-based art becomes a true symbol not only of the Homo Sapience as creators, but of the life form on our Planet at large.”
While launching fresco into space is a symbol of our intelligent life on our Blue Planet, it is also a symbol of our culture at large – people regardless of race, nationality, time; a symbol of our creative spirit since the beginning of time. Continue reading
