Once dried the wax is scraped away and reveal the white outline, protected from dyeing.

Un tratto italiano che segue con passione una tecnica antica: il Batik.
Rosario Mastrocinque, artista originario di Foglianise, in provincia di Benevento, vive e opera ad Edimburgo, dove l'Istituto Italiano di Cultura gli ha dedicato una mostra.
E' stata proprio la passione per i viaggi che lo ha portato a conoscere e praticare il Batik, tecnica artistica molto antica, particolarmente diffusa nell'isola di Java, dal XVII secolo.
Mastrocinque usa il batik come punto di partenza, per poi elaborarlo con influenze artistiche più recenti che vanno dall'"art nouveau" alla "pop art".
