"Resist painting is a technique I developed while trying to create a graphic look with paint and brush. It involves creating simplified images from negative space. It also calls for using the paint in a subtractive method, (hence, resist painting), scraping away areas, giving the visual impression of a giant wood cut. One is constantly striving to make the most of the pictorial space as economically as possible. This becomes even more difficult and unpredictable with the introduction of color." (Elias López Soba)
