The new Encausto collection
Posted on 08/12/2003

Following its enormous success in terms of appreciation among our clients, we decided to extend our Encausto collection.
All new items can be seen in the "Decoration Colours" section.

The Encausto technique is similar to an ancient wall painting technique used by the Greeks and Romans, who used colours that were mixed with molten wax and spread onto the plaster while hot. This is done using two coats of Spatula Stuhhi and Marmo [marble], as well as a final lighter sealing coat of Spatula Stuhhi Classico.

Started by an Adventure and Research tour to the Contemporary City, I've expressed the Colors of New York, that are born from my interpretation of this incredible city.
The Colors of New York are the colors of humanity. Indeed, New York is made up of all cultures, languages, religions, ways of thinking. All times, historical eras, places, races, idioms are present to represent, in just one area, the whole of contemporary mankind.
During this research Sandro Sciacca have taken many pictures now exposed permanently at Castoro Srl showroom and in this site.
