Levkas is an Egyptian technique that is 6,000 years old. Using this technique, the Egyptians decorated their tombs. This technique was later used in the religious visual arts of Europe and the Byzantine Empire during the Middle Ages. The basis of the Levkas technique is a wooden shield covered with glue (gelatin) and a paste of a mixture of fine alabaster powder and chalk (gesso), applied in layers to the surface before coating with gold leaf or painting it. This technique looks very organic and is combined with different types of metal. The main advantage of Levkas (Gesso) is the fact that it allows you to combine different forms of art, such as sculpture (including bas-reliefs), painting, graphics, etc.
