Using glass as his canvas, Serafin paints with his fingers and pallet knives, applying layer upon layer to the glass. This takes several weeks, because each layer must dry before applying different colors in the next layer. Once the layering process is complete, Serafin carves-out his sea creatures down to glass. Then he applies gold, silver and copper leafing to create a “shimmer” like the scales of a fish. The result is stunning.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerafin uses the same technique of applying the color to the back surface in creating \u003ci\u003e\u003cu\u003ereverse prints on acrylic\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e.
