OUR HISTORY...

As children we all loved colour and paint,

and my colour addiction from this time has continued to find every single colour.

It all started when moving to Sydney

at 6 with my parents from Poland and

Sicily, they were mechanics and they

started an engine repair shop in 'The 

Sydney'. I was the mechanics hand,

hand me a 9/16th, hand me that. When

I was not in 'mechanic training' I would break open the half dead car batteries at the garage. This was more fun and more

interesting, and just like the board game 'operation' except trying to remove the lead plates out of the acid with pliers without burning your hands (not the red nose and buzzer in 'operation'). My

childhood obsession started, mixing acid

with copper wire, found coins or chrome badges from junk cars in old pickle jars creating co-ordinate metal complexes and amazing coloured chemical crystals.

With a great collection of colours jars, I turned the out dated 'outback dunny' at the garage into a miniature Colour Lab! 

These experiments went on and led to

making explosives from the same acid

and metals as a 'free radical' teenager. Colour and paint was boring now and bangs and booms were much more fun!

After university I was employed at Australian Federal Police (AFP) bomb squad, where my technical knowledge was innovative, but my love of colour  

chemistry was much more rewarding.

I returned back to reacting chemicals 

into colourful 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.

 

I returned back to Sydney to continue on

making very rare and unique colours for

artists, crafters, makers, formulators and 

many other industries. I still continue  complex chemical reactions to feed my

'dedication and dangerous discovery' for colours and follow the childhood dream to find every possible colour in the world.
