The Synthetist Method

Saturated planes over modulated tones
Every color block arrives at full intensity — no washes, no gradients, no atmospheric compromise.
The outline is the argument
Cloisonnist borders define form with the same conviction as Polynesian woodcut or stained-glass lead came.
Ornament is never incidental
Tiare blossoms, palm fronds, and conch shells repeat as structural rhythm — pattern itself becomes meaning.
The surface stays flat and honest
No illusion of depth competes with the emotional truth of color laid bare on coarse canvas weave.
