From childhood everyone loves colour

and my colour addiction has continued.

It all started when moving to Sydney

at 6 with my parents from Poland and

Sicily, both were mechanics and they

started an engine repair shop in 'The 

Sydney'. They made me a mechanic

too, but my interest in the discarded

car batteries at the garage came first. 

Pouring out the acid and removing the

lead plates from the batteries became

a childhood obsession, then to mixing

all metals with other acids. Chrome

badges, copper wire + coins from junk

cars were mixed into acids in old pickle

jars. Colour experiments making co-

ordinate metal complexes continued

and that year I turned the out dated

'outback dunny' at the garage into my

mini Colour Lab full of colourful jars.

​

These experiments went on and led to

making explosives from the same acid

and metals as a 'free radical' teenager.

After uni I worked at Australian Federal

Police (AFP) bomb squad, where my

history and technical knowledge was

innovative, but my love of art, ideas 

and colour was much more rewarding.

So I returned back to reacting colour

chemistry pigments again, based in

New York for the emerging artists that

were bringing me a jar full of pennies to

convert to copper blue pigments. I also

worked directly with many world renown artists making custom colour pigments.

 

Home sick, I returned back to Sydney

to continue making rare and unique

colours for artists + all other industries

requests. I continue complex reactions

to feed my 'dedication and dangerous

discovery' for new colours, which adds

to making the worlds largest range of

colours for my colour loving customers.
