Plenus, from the latin meaning full, abundant, abounding, complete and tudo, a state or condition, gives us the word plenitude —- a state of abundance, fullness, completeness. The painting, plenitude, invites a space of wholeness. Created with casein, lime and pigment, its subtle layering reveals itself with time and shifts of light.
