Fresco

Fresco is a technique of mural painting that involves applying pigments mixed with water onto freshly laid wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the paint becomes an integral part of the wall, resulting in vibrant and durable artwork. This method has been used since ancient times, seen in masterpieces like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Frescoes often depict religious, historical, or mythological themes, capturing scenes in a way that enhances the space's architecture. The process requires skilled artisans, as any mistakes become permanent once the plaster sets.
