although pusenkoff defines himself as a classical painter, he uses the possibilities of the computer to create his works. he loads pictures from the internet onto his computer, edits them using photoshop, enlarges or reduces sections, erases them with a digital eraser, etc. he then uses the computer to create his works. in the next work step a plotter produces films, in which the represented motif dissolved in light and dark, and the parts previously marked by pusenkoff are pre-punched. they are cut out of the foils and transferred to the canvas. the artist then applies eight to twelve layers of acrylic paint, partly mixed with sand, so that relief-like raised parts form in the picture. this technique of image processing is called pochoir."
