The silver paint used has been developed for the occasion by Stuart Semplea well-known British painting and sculpture artist, a color specialist, who has worked alongside his Culture Hustle studio. He is the inventor of The World’s Silveriest Silver, Pinkest Pink, Goldest Gold and Blackest Black.
Stuart makes its paintings using 64% high quality precious metalsreal silver flakes and pigments mixed in an acrylic suspension. The paint can be easily applied to all surfaces and gives them the appearance of solid metals, gold or silver, allowing artists to create works that are a true representation of these colors.
